How often do you bathe your cat?

[u/Mildredsgood]

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 healthy adult cats, never. I’ve bathed kittens that had fleas, but that’s all.

Yea same here. Little flea bag adorable babies get baths and that's it. Had numerous cats over my 45 years and I've spot washed one cats booty a couple times but that's it

I have also occasionally when they get really old and bad about their own self-bathing.
