It was long believed that cats scratched to sharpen their claws.  However, animal behaviorists have determined that cats scratch for communication.  It is a highly visible territorial mark made to alert other cats. 

Scent gland in their paws leaves an odor signal for other cats.  Even de-clawed cats continue to scratch to leave this odor notice for other cats.  Both male and female cats scratch.  Cats also scratch during play.
