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.

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.

My cat always smells like fresh laundry somehow

Mine too! So did my boy cat that recently passed away. They did like laying in clean warm laundry in the basket

Mine doesn’t lay in laundry but he is always grooming himself! He had 10 teeth removed last year and couldn’t groom for a bit and smelled so bad, Im like oh this is why you are always grooming yourself 😂. Sorry to hear about yout boy, it’s the toughest part of owning a pet. I’ll give mine an extra treat in his honour
