wait do you mean scruf? if so, you grab them by the loose skin on the top of their neck. make sure they are kittens if you are doing it. If they are adults, it hurts them because of how much they weigh.
The above answer is only partly true. Adult cats can be scruffed in order to lift them out of a box or carrier, but only if you also hold them from underneath. But did you know this? Scruffing mimics what the mama cats does with them as kittens in order to move them, by mouthing them by the back of the neck skin they are very "portable". The actual act of putting their teeth gently on the neck skin causes the kittens to immediately go limp and relaxed in mom's mouth. It is something we can mimic with an upset or frightened cat, and it calms them down immediatelly. My cat has frequent choking fits due to a small trachea, and I use scruffing to settle him down while I lift his head up and stroke away his spasming trachea. Works every time, and he appreciates the relief.

Why does a cat scratch constantly causing scabs and loss of hair and is there a home remed?
The cat may have fleas. Check by collecting some scurf from its coat on a piece of white paper. Dampen the scurf slightly, if any of it turns reddish, the cat has fleas. I don't know of a home remedy. Ask in the drugstore or, better still, ask a vet. If it's not fleas the cat might have ringworm. This needs professional treatment. Skin allergy to flea faeces may be the cause of persistent scratching which can result in bleeding and the formation of scabs. A good quality tubed-ointment type flea-killer applied once per month to the nape of the neck has been known to effect an almost overnight cure from this very distressing condition.
