c strcat with pointer

I'm trying to use pointers and strcat from C. This is part of my learning process.

The idea is the user inputs a string that contains digits and the output should return only the digits.
So, if the user inputs
te12abc the output should be 12.

This is my first try:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

#define SIZE 10

int main()
{

    char palavra[SIZE];
    char palavra2[SIZE];
    char *pont = palavra;
    char *pont2 = palavra2;

    printf("Insert the string\n");
    scanf("%s", palavra);

    do{
        if (isdigit(*pont)){

            strcat(palavra2, *pont);
        }
        *pont++;
    }while (*pont != '\0');

    printf("\nThe number is:\n%s\n", palavra2);
    return 0;
}

I believe that the pointer is working as expected but can't understand why strcat is not working.

Made a second try that is the program finds a number, stores that char in one variable and only then try to use strcat with that variable. Here is the code:

int main()
{
    char palavra[SIZE];
    char palavra2[SIZE];
    char temp;
    char *pont = palavra;

    char * pont2 = &temp;

    printf("Insert the string\n");
    scanf("%s", palavra);

    do{
        if (isdigit(*pont)){
            temp = *pont;
            strcat(palavra2, pont2);
        }

        *pont++;
    }while (*pont != '\0');

    printf("\nThe number is:\n%s\n", palavra2);
    return 0;
}

Once again it gives me problems at strcat.

Made one last attempt but without pointer and still strcat does not work. Here is the code:

int main()
{
    int i = 0;
    char palavra[SIZE];
    char palavra2[SIZE];
    char temp;

    printf("Insert the string\n");

    scanf("%s", palavra);

    do{
        if (isdigit(palavra[i])){
            temp = palavra[i];
            strcat(palavra2, palavra[i]);
        }
        i++;
    }while (palavra[i] != '\0');


    printf("\nThe number is:\n%s\n", palavra2);
    return 0;
}

Can you point me to the right direction? Don't now what more can I do..

Answer

Remove * (dereference),

        strcat(palavra2, pont);

strcat expects a char* not a char
but this version appends the whole rest.
you have to create a nul-terminated string.

And the * is useless

    *pont++;

This does the job

    pont++;

now all at once

int main()
{
  char palavra[SIZE];
  char palavra2[SIZE];
  char c2[2] = "a";
  char *pont = palavra;
  char *pont2 = palavra2;


  printf("Insert the string\n");
  scanf("%s", palavra);

  do{
    if (isdigit(*pont)){
      c2[0] = *pont;
      strcat(palavra2, c2);
    }
    pont++;
}while (*pont != '\0');


printf("\nThe number is:\n%s\n", palavra2);
return 0;

However, this is too complicated

int main()
{
  char palavra[SIZE];

  char palavra2[SIZE];


  printf("Insert the string\n");
  scanf("%s", palavra);

  char *pont = palavra;
  char *pont2 = palavra2;

  while (true) {

    char c = *pont ++;
    if (c == 0) break;
    if (isdigit(c)){
       *pont2++ = c;
    }
  };
  printf("\nThe number is:\n%s\n", palavra2);
  return 0;
