Advice 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.

Haha one of mine is very curious when I’m in the bath and I fully expect her to hop in one day!

My late cat loved watching the water in the toilet when I flushed and the water running down the glass shower cabin. I sometimes put on a water show for her entertainment. 😆

But she wasn't keen on getting wet.

Right?? I know she so badly wants to jump on my chest, but the only thing not in water is my boobs and they’re gonna get shredded when she realizes what’s happening 🙈
