 Scratching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For recording use, samplers are often used instead of physically scratching a vinyl record.
Almost all scratches are produced by moving a vinyl record back and forth with your hand while it is playing on a turntable.
Scratching has been incorporated into a number of other musical genres, including Pop, Rock, Jazz, and Classical music performances.

 Disc Jockey 101: Scratching
Scratching records is a form of turntablism, which is the manipulation of a turntable, pre-recorded music, and mixer in a "free-form" manner (i.e., like jazz musicians that improvise).
Scratch records are usually made with a better grade of vinyl (such as "regrind") and are less likely to become damaged.

Damage occurs once a piece of furniture, usually the part that sticks out into the room, is initially scratched—the scratching tends to persist, because that part smells like a territorial mark that needs to be renewed.
In order to keep your cat’s scratching activities directed to the acceptable scratching object, do not replace a heavily used object as soon as it gets scruffy, thinking the cat wants a new one—its heavy use is your sign the cat loves the scratching post just the way it is.
When encouraging a cat to use a scratching post, the post should first be placed in a prominent area; after it is being used it can be moved gradually to the side of the room, because cats tend to use the same object repeatedly.
