Porrigere is the Latin equivalent of 'to reach out'. It also may be translated as 'to stretch out, extend'. The first person singular of the present indicative is 'porrigo'. The 'i' is short, and therefore pronounced like the 'i' in the English personal pronoun 'it'. That same word 'porrigo', but with the 'i' pronounced long as in the personal pronoun 'I', is a feminine gender noun that means 'dandruff, scurf'.
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.
