Question

I have a long haired cat, and someone told me that I should bathe her. Is this true? I thought cats kept themselves clean.

Answer 1

You'll be able to tell just by keeping your eye on her. If she looks fine, she is, and if she looks greasy, she needs a little help. The onlt thing about long haired cats is that sometimes people get their butts shaved or trimmed so that they don't get dingleberries.

Answer 2

they usually do, but sometimes if they're old or overweight, it gets hard for them.

Answer 3

With most younger, healthy cats, they will keep themselves clean, but they might still get matted. Sometimes groomers shave their bellies too, or my friend gets hers a lion cut.
