How often should you bathe your cat?

Answer 1

It is not a good idea to bathe cats, it can actually cause skin problems. Cats are naturally very clean animals, and bathe themselves. Kittens who cannot bathe themselves are usually cleaned by the mother, however by the time they are ready to leave the nest they will be able to do it themselves.

Answer 2

Cats do not need to be bathed, ever. They are perfectly capable of bathing themselves: unlike human saliva, cats' saliva works sort of like a shampoo, and their rough, sandpapery tongues work almost like a hairbrush.

Unless the cat has been rolling around in mud, or something like that, it definitely does not need to be bathed. Ever.

Answer 3

It depends. If the cat is an indoor cat and doesn't frequently get dirty, you should wash it about once every few weeks. If it's more of an outdoor cat and is messier, wash it once or twice a week or whenever it gets dirty enough.
