Scruffing a cat can cause them to become temporarily paralyzed because it triggers a natural instinct called the "scruff reflex." This reflex is present in many animals, including cats, and causes them to become still and relaxed when pressure is applied to the skin on the back of their neck, mimicking how a mother cat would carry her kittens.
Picking up a cat by the loose skin at the back of the neck is scruffing
To properly perform scruffing on adult cats, gently grasp the loose skin on the back of their neck with your hand. Lift and hold the cat securely, supporting their weight if needed. Be gentle and avoid causing discomfort to the cat while scruffing.

Scruffing a ferret is sometimes required to handle a ferret who is sick, injured, trying to escape or refusing to take a medication or have a wound looked at. It is the same concept used by moms to carry their young. You hold the ferret by the scruff of the neck, which is the loose skin on the back of the neck. It doesn't hurt but doesn't allow the ferret to escape either. The mother ferret scruffs her babies to discipline them and she also carries them by the scruff, like cat's do.
