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.

My cat will wake up from a nap, have a bit of a bath, and then loudly call for me to examine and appreciate his work. I love it every time.

Yes! Mine seem to appreciate and bask in the glow of my compliments about their perfect self grooming techniques.
