Those who have been privileged enough to own a pure white cat… know that cats DO need bathed. Our White cat was indoor only yet he would yellow out due to dirt in the air that would collect on his fur. We bathed him once a month and that was enough to keep him clean and white. So yes, cats do need bathed.

Depending on the cat, over bathing could dry the skin so don’t over do it. There are many cat owners who are allergic and bath their cats once a week to remove dander so that they can keep living with their cat allergen free. Show cat owners also bath their cats weekly or more.

If it were my cat, I would start with once per month and see how that works out for you and your cat. The earlier you start bathing (after 12 weeks) the more your cat will take to it and accept it as a normal non fearful situation.

Good Luck!
