Most short-haired cats are excellent self-groomers and do not require frequent bathing. In fact, over-bathing can strip their skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. You might only need to bathe them if they get into something truly messy, have a skin condition requiring medicated baths, or are elderly and no longer groom themselves effectively. For routine care, regular brushing is usually sufficient to help with shedding and prevent matting.
