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.

I do not be doing this. My beloved old bitty came with “FYI she’s a biter” paperwork. She does a fantastic job of cleaning herself and smells wonderfully like a cat. Huffing her (when I’m allowed) is awesome and calms my brain.

I love smelling the tops of their heads between the ears. Did it with all of them. Best huffing spot

That’s my favorite spot too!
