Snowball, our medium-length haired cat has never had a butt- bath, and rarely needs a bath unless he goes under the radiator. Then he looks like a skunk in reverse.

Rocky, our long-haired cat, on the other hand, usually needs a butt-bath a couple of times a year. He seems to have trouble sometimes with his stool hanging on to his hind fur and will walk around with it until we notice it. By then he has made boober marks all over the carpet.
