Sometimes the cat may just be playful and scratch without really meaning it. Sometimes cats will lick your 'wound' just to show they're playing. Or other times they may be showing aggressive behavior because you've been annoying them or are in there territory. Which in that case you should go and leave your cat alone for a couple hours so you and your cat can calm down.

cats most likely want to be scratched because:

  • it feels good
  • they have something itching in their fur

they may also want to be scratched just to rub their scent on you.

Are scratch posts really helpful to stop cats from scratching furniture?

Scratch posts can be helpful in stopping cats from scratching furniture. They should be placed near furniture so that cats will choose them instead of the furniture. It also helps to cover your furniture with plastic when you first put the scratch posts out so they are the only thing the cat can scratch until they get used to it.
