Also not really related, but it would be cool if Scratch lvl'd up with the Rally ability and maybe a bonus to attack vs the bones? Help action is such a bust but Rally would surely be power up not to balk at. Any sort of heal or stabilize that cost an action is a bit of a bust. I mean if the potion takes a bonus action or an action to throw, then anything not a bonus or at range action isn't really competing. Cure Light wounds just feels like such a trap, with the lone exception of the Life cleric thing, but then it's not super exciting really. Probably even better for me would be to summon Scratch without occupying the animal familiar slot, if you're one of the Nature classes, so he could team up with the Raven or the Frog or whoever to make it seem more Beast big time.
Otherwise seems like the lvl 3 spell to Animate the Dead upcast to lvl 4 for 3 is just like way better than the other summons at that level. Woodland being and Minor Elementals compete for the second slot I guess, but it's 3 ups in the turn sequence vs 2 there. Woodland Being is so hardcore that she's like always first up I think over the exploding Ice Memphits but I don't know, like just a Scratch, the Bird a random Spirit Cat might have been a fun way to switch it up there.
