Yeah, The Only Question I Have Is Whether Scratch Cat Is Sentient And Has A Form Of Backstory. I Feel Like They Do But There Isnt Any Form Of Evidence About Scratch Cat, Or Their Story. All We Know that He Was Once Turned Into Lego In 2009 And He Traveled The World In 2016, But Thats All We Know. I Would Love To See A Form Of Backstory. I Would Be Thrilled If We Had Seen The Evolution Of Scratch Cat's Life Or Something. And Does Scratch Cat Have Family. Is The Scratch Cat From 2.0 The Same Cat, Or A Family Member, Or A Friend Or Who Are They. Also Why Are They In A White Void Called ‘The Stage’, And How Did They Get There To Begin With. AIso, Is Each Project Being Made Secretly Another Day, Or Even More Insane, A Cry For Help As Scratch Cat Realizes His Legacy Is Slowly Ending, Painfully As More And More People Stop Using Scratch Cat In Their Project, Knowing That Sooner Or Later, They Would Be Replace Or Dare I Say, Forgotten? ok, im going insane over a virtual cat. BUT, WE NEED A BACKSTORY OR SOMETHING???

no, but I can assure you that nano suffers from dwarfism. Quote:
here's link btwThose who are afflicted by dwarfism? What kind of nearly-15-year-old is as tall as a 4-year-old girlLots of people grow early, and by the time one turns 18 (possibly even 15), they stop growing. I'm 5'8“ now, and probably will be for the rest of my life. On the other hand, due to differing genetic makeup, I would not be surprised that some 15-year-olds are currently 6 feet tall. According to Google, the ”average height“ for 15-year-old males is 5'7”, which is already pretty close to my 5'8“ — that average height implies that there are a not-insignificant number of 15-year-old males who are at least 5'8”. and another nearly-15-year-old is as tall as a 30-year-old man?
Anyway… let's get back on topic, here. Even if Nano is extremely young, that doesn't mean they should be excluded from being displayed on pages on the Scratch website. Scratch is for all ages.

I think he is actually whatever you want him to be so her gender is whatever you want it to be so it could be male or female or whatever. I think I heard that somewhere? Scratch Cat is nonbinary

I Found Out Scratch Cat Has An Obsession With The Colour Blue, And They Love Fish That Is Exactly 2 Weeks Old. No More, No Less. And To Answer The Question Of ‘'Scratch JR may be his child, but I have no idea’' If Scratch JR Is His Child, Then They May Be Potentially Adopted?

The link you provided is a quote from should not be taken as official lore. Note that Nano is likely not human, so the dwarfism argument probably doesn't apply here. no, but I can assure you that nano suffers from dwarfism.
Yes, scratch cat does have lore.Note that this is an April Fools' article and hence unofficial.

I remember a comment from back when @thisandagain was a Scratch Team member, where he stated that Scratch Cat's favorite food is tacos. Aside from Scratch Cat being non-binary, I believe this is the only “official” lore that we know.

Ok so
1) Lives in a white void
2) Is self-aware to a certain extent (has a scratch account)
3) loves…tacos?

I believe any pronouns can be used for scratch cat, I could probably literally switch halfway through a sentence and it would still make sense as scratch cat is meant to help foster creativity and kinda be an oc thats not othisYou mean their, since they're nonbinary Scratch Cat is nonbinary, according to

If the April Fools' Day events are canon, Scratch Cat went time-travelling in 2022, then opened a stand-up comedy club in 2023.

I think that would confuse people who would view a project or a comment where that happened though. Like if you swapped from “he” to “she”, people might not know who “she” is referring to xDI believe any pronouns can be used for scratch cat, I could probably literally switch halfway through a sentence and it would still make sense as scratch cat is meant to help foster creativity and kinda be an oc thats not othisYou mean their, since they're nonbinary Scratch Cat is nonbinary, according to

They say there was an Arnold.
But he(if it even was a he) has been lost to time.
In the meantime did you know that Gobo is half water-buffalo

This Implies That Scratch Cat Has Existed For Thousands Of Years. Cats Average Life Span Is 12-18 Years, So, This May Imply That Scratch Cat Immortal. I Mean, That Idea Makes Sense I Think. I Mean, If Thats True, Then Scratch Cat Has Lived Through Two World Wars, An American Civil War, Russia / Ukraine, Gaza / Israel, etc.I actually do think there is a bit of canon stuff, in like one/two years ago for the April fools' event we could “time travel” through different kinds of Scratch throughout the years, and the ol' fella even existed supposedly back in ancient times :0 Yeah, The Only Question I Have Is Whether Scratch Cat Is Sentient And Has A Form Of Backstory.
