Osker boy, welcome to Pet Talk. I think you will find that this is one of the most friendly and helpful sites for cat owners.

I used to give my Snow Cat (my flame-point Siamese) baths, or at least I attempted to, because of flea problems. But even at 4 months of age, he was too much to handle for one person. He constantly resisted being bathed. So, I gave up on the idea and instead, purchased some flea repellant. Now that he is 1 year old, his coat is just as white and clean as if he had a bath. He is a very clean and neat kitty and does not get dirty even if he plays outside for the day As a cat ages from kittenhood, I believe, they become more conscious of their appearance, just like people.
