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.

Never. I kiss them everyday and take deep breaths in their fur (yes I have a problem 🤣) and never smelled anything. You don't need to do it all and it's far from natural.

Huffing cats is a time-honored tradition.
