" Those who'll play with cats must expect to be scratched. "

The way you behave with others, they will behave the same with you. If you pester your mom for something while she is busy, you might probably get a negative reaction. The same happens with all the situations in life.

The quote states that those who play with cats must be expected to be scratched which means, if you annoy someone or tease them and they don't like it, you have the face the consequences. So don't poke someone when they are angry or having a bad day, because they might come off as bad to you.

Deal with others, how you want to be dealt with.
