Cat scratched my abductor pollicis muscle 8 weeks ago. i still get deep muscle ache occasionally. will it heal? what can i do to heal faster?

Yes. Move.: The biggest issue with hand and arm injuries is stiffness due to a patient not moving because it hurts. The pain of stiffness can only be overcome by feeling the pain. It hurts because of the "4 S's". This is my nemonic to teach: You are Stretching Scar & Squishing Swelling. Hold the mildly painful stretch for 20 sec, wait, then repeat. If less pain then it is stiffness. If more see a doc.
