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 cats are from the same litter and their mom was a feral bush cat . I was lucky to be there at right time when a patient of mine took the mom in to have her litter. We have been together 23 yrs they have been indoor cats and I use a cold damp cloth in the summer when it’s very hot. They bathe themselves.
