Most indoor cats are fastidious groomers and rarely require a full bath unless they get into something truly messy or have a medical condition that impairs their self-grooming. Over-bathing can strip natural oils from their skin and coat, leading to dryness or irritation. For routine maintenance, regular brushing is usually sufficient to remove loose fur and prevent matting. If your cat tolerates it and gets particularly dirty, a bath every few months with a cat-specific shampoo can be fine, but it's generally not a necessity.
