i bathe zoey every week. this is because the weather is very warm over here and she tends to stink after about 4 days. i have bathed her so many times and yet she hates taking a bath!!

I have never bathed my kitties because they do a pretty good job of it themselves. Once in a while I wipe them down with a damp wash cloth.

Bella goes to the groomer's every 6 weeks for her bath and clipping. Since she is white she really starts to look a little "off white" at about 4 weeks. I think I may start bathing her myself at the halfway point, at 3 weeks, just to keep her white and sparkling, especially now that the warmer weather is here. She loves being in water, even in the bathtub!

Misty hates the water so I asked the vet what should I do to get her to like the water. He said you don't need to bathe her. A cat is cleaning themselves constantly they bathe themselves. Brushing them is good enough. Vet said all the chemicles in soaps and such the cat digests it licking so much could make a cat sick if the person did not get it rinced off good enough. So I really let Misty bathe herself and I get the pleasure of brushing her.
