Answer 1

NO! i have a cat and i know that cats HATE water, cats l**k themselves clean

Answer 2

No. cats usually wash theirselves and they hate water!

Answer 3

Cats can pretty much take care of themselves.  It is not necessary for you to bathe them, as they do a good job of keeping themselves clean.

With that said, it's not going to hurt them if you do decide to give them a bath.  We bathe our cats every so often, and they may not like it, but it doesn't hurt.  

Good luck and have fun with your new kitten!

Answer 4

NOOOO!!!!  Cats don't need baths or grooming in general as they are capable of doing it themselves.  Giving you cat a bath every two weeks sounds like torture.  About 5 years ago, I accidentily set the fire alarm off in my house (and it wouldn't shut off for about 20 mins) and my cat heard it and went crazy.  Finally he ran up into the chimney and wouldn't come out for about five hours.  When he did come out, he was covered in soot, the poor thing.  I had to give him a bath because, obviously, he couldn't clean himself.  He kept running up my arm and scratching me and yowled pathetically the whole time.  He really, REALLY hated it.  It seems torturous to repeat it every two weeks, sort of like water boarding your cat.  Now, he is 19, and can no longer groom his back, due to arthritis, so I comb out his fur myself and occasionally take him to see a professional groomer.  

Answer 5

I have never bathed my cat in two years.  She cleans herself alot and always smells nice as long as I clean out the litter box often enough.

I don't think it needs to be done as they are able to clean themselves so easily.

Answer 6

I think that would be unnecessary, rather give them a bath only when they are dirty because they l**k themselves clean most of the time, so only give her a bath if her coat is dirty or if she stinks,

besides, cats hate water lol!

=•D

Answer 7

It depends. You should give your kitten showers rarely because they can l**k themselves.If your kitten has tics or fleas you must give it a shower. You also must use special shampoo. Otherwise don't give your kitten a shower so often. You should give your kitten a shower about once every few month. That's what I do, my kitten loves it! Good luck!

Answer 8

well if she is still a little baby then should should wash her every month..wen she gets older take her to teh groomers..

Answer 9

no! because the vets put special medication on your cat to keep away fleas and if you bath her you will wash away the medication and your cat will likely get fleas. and cat are seriously afraid of water and if you try to bath her she might get too stressed and can cause her to go into shock. so just brush her often and take her to her check ups regularly and she should he a happy healthy kitty
