Can cats take a bath every day? The editor’s answer is: Cats cannot take baths every day. Cats originally have the ability to clean themselves, so they only need to take a bath if there is dirt or the body has a odor.
Water bathing every day will wash off the protective film formed by the secreted substances in the cat's skin, resulting in a decrease in immunity, causing bacteria to invade, and threatening physical health. At the same time, taking a bath every day can also cause cats to fall out very much. Generally speaking, cats love to clean, just take a bath 1 to 2 times a month.
From the origin of cats, most common domestic cats originate from desert cats and grassland cats, and it is not easy to find water in deserts and grasslands, so after evolution, cats' skin has adapted to a drought environment. The cat's skin can secrete an oil to protect the skin from bacteria. If you give your cat frequent bathing, it will damage this oil and cause bacteria to invade the cat's skin, which makes it easy for cats to suffer from skin diseases.
Cats are very clean animals. They spend a lot of time every day to clean their hair. Their tongue is like a magical small brush. Bacteria and dust will be "brushed" by themselves, so it is unnecessary to frequently bathe their master.
