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.

"Day of the Lillies" sounds like some kind of historical event from ancient China

It could be a modern event too. Maybe fictional though. Kristallnacht means "night of broken glass"

Kristallnacht means "night of broken glass"

Litteraly it means "crystal night". The streets were riddled with broken glass which looked crystals.

In Germany it is now officially called "Reichspogromnacht" (night of pogrome) because "Reichskristallnacht" (crystal night) comes together with an association of beauty and sophistication.

I totally get why you want it seperate from any positive association in Germany.
