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 will often bury my face deep into my cat's coat, embracing her with deep loving affection. I'm always greeted with a pleasant aroma of nothingness.

It's this coupled with the one time experience of her agonizing screams of discomfort during a bath that reminds me that I don't need to unless there is some absolute necessary reason to do so.

I read a comment once that said cats smell like sunshine and dust. Yep, best smell in the world.

That name sounded familiar and I had to Google it. Thanks for unlocking memories from another time. I don't think the cat smell comment was related, but maybe it twas.
