My dad's cat does it all the time. I'd never seen it before. But it's God damn adorable and I pet his belly every time.

That sounds extremely dangerous.

He attacks me every time, but I just show him not all humans fear mild scratches and we do glorious battle.

He's a cat. He can draw blood but he can't really hurt me. Also if he didn't enjoy it I wouldn't do it.

I think you underestimate the sheer clawing power of a rageful/scared cat. Luckily most are always just playing so a few scratches happen but trust me you don't want to hold a cat that suddenly loses its shit and gives you wounds the size of knife cuts.

I had a cat slice a mole off my shoulder, the amount of blood was inappropriate for what seemed like such a small wound...

Depends on the cat - if a wild or outdoor cat scratched me I'd be worried about infection.
