Does Your Cat Need A Bath?

It is a common belief that cats do not need to take a bath. The reason for this is that they are capable of grooming themselves. They lick their body to remove traces of dirt and dust. But this scenario is only applicable for short-haired breeds. After all, cats with long hair need an occasional bath to remove tangles and oils in their fur. On the other hand, hairless cats like the sphinx need a regular bath. Hairless cats accumulate natural oils that attract dust and other particles in the air.

Indeed, cats don’t like to get wet. But they need to take a bath as they start to become smelly. Or you can also bathe the cat when it seems that she can no longer groom herself.

Prepare for your cat’s bath time by using the appropriate bathing materials. Be gentle when holding the cat because she can get triggered or stressed and bite the hand of the one bathing them.
