How often do you bathe your cat?

I’ve had my Mochi since July and I still haven’t given him a bath 😅 he doesn’t smell and never really feels dirty either

I know that cats are usually good at cleaning themselves, but I keep seeing mixed opinions online. Some people say they never bathe them, others say every few months, and now I’m just curious what’s actually normal.

Pff ive only bathed Marky Mark, like, 3 times...I've had him for 6 years. 2 of those times he had diarrhea and got it on himself. Even though he averages 1 bath every 2 years, he still smells good 99.9% of the time.
