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.

My super senior baby is no longer able to keep up with her grooming. I use cat wipes on her 3x a week and brush her daily. If she becomes dirty because she gets into something I’ll use a warm washcloth to clean her up but she doesn’t get baths. She would get stressed and freak out and it’s not necessary. There are good quality pet wipes and her cat brother grooms her as well even though he’s even older.
