I have had cats for way too many years, and only bathe them if they get icky bottoms, and that doesn't happen very often. My cat now, which is only 10 months old, likes water, but I can't see putting her in the bathtub. I have a hard enough time bathing a cocker spaniel.
I give Rusty a bath because his full name is Dusty Rusty. He likes to roll in the dirt and all of my doors have a dirt mark at his height. Yes, he cleans all the time, but I like him cleaner. Now he is a shower kitty. Just sits there and lets me wash and then runs to daddy when we are done. My other cat, Sam is a Cashmere Coat Stranded Silver Persian and he goes to the groomer 2 times a year, not because he is dirty, but because of the amount of fur he has and it tends to get matted real easy. She shaves his belly and rear and he is fine for another 6 months.
