What do you do if your cat scratchs you?

[You]

If my cat scratches me, the first step is remaining calm and not punishing them, as that often reinforces the scratching behavior. I inspect the scratch for severity, clean it properly, and apply antibiotic ointment if needed.

Yes that's it you don't go punishing. Just be calm and see how you can clean the place and keep it clean.

I don't have cats, I don't think I would be able to deal with all these honestly.

If it happens to me, I will go straight to a doctor. Then, I will request to receive anti-rabies vaccines.

My cats I see with their claws tucked in when they are around me. Have not experienced scratches.
