You were probably trying to force yourself upon it and it didn't like it. With some cats ( at least until you have fully gained their trust), you have to let them come to you, and then you can play/pet them all you want. But if they are minding their own business and all of a sudden a person is pestering them and they don't want it at that moment, yeah, it's going to scratch you.
^ This! I've had my cat for about 8 years (he was a rescue cat), and he still scratches me on occasion! But then he nudges me and says sorry. ^^
Cats have their off days, too, OP!
IIN I'm not sure whether to declaw my cat or not?
