While I have given baths to every other cat I've ever owned,
Mama has never had a bath as it would be just too much
of a foreign process to her at her age.
Yes, if you get close to her and smell, she smells kinda funky.

She does get combed daily, and she gets the occassional
sponge bath.
She's also doesn't seem to mind being rained on, she comes
inside sometimes soaking wet, then I bring out the towel and
give her a towel drying...she likes it that way.

One of the first things I noticed about the cats here in Oregon is that they
don't mind the rain, and frequently come in soaking wet....No self
respecting California cat would be caught dead wet....They will go to any
length to stay dry, and I have seen them come in dry when it has been
pouring "cats and dogs" (No pun intended) for hours.........

Strangely enough, Mama is the first cat that I've had that didn't
mind
being rained on.
Then again, she has also lived longer than any cat I've ever owned...
so I prefer not to mess with a good thing when I see it.
She's happy and healthy, and that's all that matters to me.

When I first moved into this house, (my first house in Oregon after
retirement from the Bay Area in Northern California) a cat, "Missy" with a
limp and a lump, came with the house. I first noticed her sitting on a sawed
off tree stump at the edge of my property in the rain...She was obviously
enjoying the rain, and I thought it weird for a cat to sit in the
rain......But it turns out that it was pretty normal for an Oregon
cat....Missy is dead now, but we have four cats, and they all come in
sopping wet whenever it rains.....I think it's good for them...It keeps the
fleas down......

I maybe got you mixed up with Deetoo's owner. I thought we had a talk about
baths, pros and cons, risks and rewards, and possible hazards to human
health. Was that not you? Sorry! >-:

That was me you had the discussion with. Don't know if you saw my follow-up
comments, but trying to bath her in the kitchen sink was a wasted (and
dangerous) effort. I won't be trying it again unless Deetoo gets something
undesirable or smelly all over her coat.

I remember now. So you did try it but it turned out to be like juggling
razor blades? <-:

Isis is about due for a bath and nail trim. I'm going to take her to a local
place and turn the job over to the professionals! <-:
