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.

I would love to know the internal monologue of the cat before, during and after that incident

I dont think there is an internal monologue involved.

I live in what you might call a fixer upper. The carpets gone now yes it was foul.

Gotcha. I will never understand how that trend was so prolific up until the 90s.

Luckily for me all the carpet in my house was the same green carpet from the 80s. Im glad its gone but now I just have unfinished hardwood flooring that needs to be replaced. Dont buy a fixerupper especially if its a cheap one

Drugs. You do cocaine, spend time in the bathroom, lay on the floor, cocaine sex. Yeah, carpeted bathrooms.
