Those who have been privledged wnough to own a pure white cat… know that cats DO need bathed. Our White cat was indoor only yet he would yellow out every few months 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, overbathing could dry the skin, but it’s clear you aren’t going to do that so I don’t think it needs to be discussed.
Just as a side note… there are many cat owners who are allergic and bath thier cats once a week to remove dander so that they can keep living with thier cat allergen free. Show cat owners also bath thier 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!
Meow!

you should buy babbie wipes and wipe your cat with the wipe 1 time a week but if your cat goes out side you should wipe your cat 2 times a week.

Lots of different answers here! And probably all right, as every cat is different. How often you should bathe your cat depends upon that individual cat’s skin and coat texture. I would agree with those that said no more than once a month at first, and to use cat wipes for spot cleaning in between. (Make sure the wipes are specifically labeled for cats - remember how sensitive cats can be to chemicals that don’t bother dogs or humans). If once a month keeps your cat clean with the use of wipes in between, great. If not, you can try every three weeks but be sure to use a gentle shampoo without a lot of surfactants or harsh degreasers. Consider the use of a light conditioner to replace the moisture removed by bathing.

Well, it’s always a good idea to bathe your cat more than necessary so that your cat can be clean no matter what. Also, does your cat go outside?

its worse to bathe your cat than to not bathe your cat. bathing your cat dries out their skin.

i would bath your cat 1 time every 2 or 3 months because you CAN dry out their skin
