Cats can be bathed when they are over three months old and have been vaccinated. If the two requirements cannot be met at the same time, it is not recommended to bathe the cat. Because cats are too young or have not been vaccinated, their body immunity is poor. Taking a bath hastily can easily reduce the cat's resistance and increase the risk of contracting viral diseases. ​​​​​​

How should cats take a bath? Cat bathing is actually a very particular thing. Unlike us humans, if we feel dirty or itchy, we just go to the bathroom and rinse with water and then wash it off.

Cats themselves are animals in the desert. They are relatively afraid of water and can easily cause stress reactions. Moreover, the cat’s resistance will temporarily decrease after taking a bath. If the body’s antibodies are not strong enough, it is easy to be infected with cat plague, etc. of viral diseases.

When to bathe? As we said at the beginning of the article, if you want to bathe a cat, you must meet the two prerequisites of age and antibodies.

After all, everything focuses on the cat’s health. Kittens should not be bathed unless necessary. As long as the cat is over three months old and has completed its complete immunity, it can be bathed normally.

How often should you bathe a cat? It is generally recommended that the frequency of bathing a cat should be once a month. In winter, when the weather is colder, it can be extended to once every three months.

Because the cat’s fur has a dense oleophobic layer, it can help the cat resist dust and ultraviolet rays to a certain extent and protect the cat’s skin.

If you bathe frequently, this oleophobic layer will be destroyed, which will instead reduce the cat’s skin resistance and induce skin diseases.
