Scratch Cat

**Scratch Cat** is one of the antagonists of the *Six Hours with Scratch Cat* series, who appears in some form in every game, and is the mascot of Scratch Cat's Tacos.

He is an animatronic cat who, like most of the animatronics in the games, is supposedly left activated at night, during which he wanders around the restaurant, along with the other animatronics, until 6 AM, to minimize repair costs by the company. Like the other animatronics, Scratch Cat will try to forcefully kick any human he sees after hours out of the building due to an oversight by the programmers, resulting in them being fired for abandoning their post.

It seems this oversight is kept in the programming by a man named Victor Adams, who does so for an unknown reason.

## Physical description

### Scratch Cat (Original, Deluxe, DE)

Scratch Cat is an orange animatronic cat with white on his stomach and muzzle. He has no eyebrows, three whiskers on either side of his face, and has simple stumps for hands and feet. He has no teeth, and his mouth (which is usually held constantly open) is white on the inside. In some instances, his usually black pupils glow white while the rest of his eyes are dark.

This design is simply the default Scratch Cat sprite created by Wing Ngan for the Scratch website.

The positioning and shape of Scratch Cat's eyes, mouth, and whiskers are slightly different in Six Hours DE than they are in the original game or Deluxe, due to the sprite's design being changed when Scratch 3.0 launched.

### Discarded Scratch Cat (2 Legacy, 2 DE)

As **Discarded Scratch Cat**, he is the older, withered incarnation. He, along with the four other older animatronics have all fallen into severe disrepair and he is replaced by his newer counterpart for the updated location, New Scratch Cat. In 2 DE, it is explained that he has gone through an attempted retrofit, but was left unfinished after the management chose to make New Scratch Cat. (much like the other original animatronics being replaced by their respective counterparts). This version of Scratch Cat is the same one from the first game that has been abandoned and scrapped.

In Six Hours 2 Legacy, Discarded Scratch Cat's overall appearance is unchanged, but small differences are visible - mainly the droopy eyelid on his right eye, his darker color, and his mouth frowning instead of smiling. Most notably, however, is the damage on his arms, legs, and face, which have numerous holes. He also seems to be lacking the white interior of his mouth. Both his ears and his whiskers are pointed the wrong way, and his nose is shriveled. The reason for his disrepair is due to abandonment by the company and the fact that he is simply used as spare parts for the newer animatronics.

In Six Hours 2 DE, his design is similar to that in 2 Legacy but with more damage and detail. He has an additional hole in his ear, where two wires can be seen hanging out. The holes in his face and leg now show parts of his endoskeleton, as well as wires. The hole in his left arm now has one green wire hanging out, and his droopy eyelid now looks more believable. The most notable difference to his design in 2 Legacy is that the end of his tail is missing a large portion of its outer costume, showing the robotic tail underneath. Discarded Scratch Cat's pupils can sometimes be seen illuminating white glows.

## Personality

Not much is known about Scratch Cat's personality, or his discarded variant. He has no dialogue as of yet, and the only thing there is that allures to a personality is when he plays his music box in the kitchen. He seems to be fond of his music.
