"Unleashing the Itch: From Highland Cows to Mischievous Kittens, Scratching is Universal" Amidst a serene pasture, a majestic Highland cow finds solace in scratching its back against an old oak tree. In a cozy home, a young woman diligently washes clothes at the sink while her mischievous cat scratches away on its activity play centre. A playful grey kitten discovers pure bliss as it sharpens its claws on a dedicated scratching post. Even the mighty African elephant succumbs to the irresistible urge, finding relief by scratching its bottom against a sturdy rock. With grace and precision, another feline companion gracefully stretches out and utilizes their trusted scratching post for ultimate satisfaction. Two black kittens engage in endless entertainment as they take turns exploring their activity play centre and indulging in some satisfying scratches. An iconic Andrews Liver Salt poster by John Hassall reminds us that even humans seek relief from discomfort through gentle scratchings of our own. As twilight sets in, a wise badger basks in golden hues while delicately scratching behind its ears – nature's way of soothing an itch under Derbyshire skies. In Western Division's lush forests, an agile Callithrix Monkey pauses mid-climb to tend to an annoying itch on its arm with swift movements - reminding us that primates too share this universal habit of seeking comfort through scratching. From domestic cats to wild creatures like elephants and monkeys, Louis Wain's "Our Cats: A Domestic History" unveils how these fascinating animals have been captivated by the art throughout history. In every corner of our world, whether it be among rolling hills or bustling households, creatures big and small find respite from life's irritations through this instinctual act we call 'scratching.
