CATDOLL : Why can't cats be bathed frequently?

Reasons why cats cannot be bathed frequently:

1. The cat's own skin can secrete a kind of oil that protects the skin from damage by external bacteria. If the cat takes a bath frequently, this oil will be destroyed.

2. Frequent bathing will destroy the vitamin D in the cat's hair, causing calcium deficiency in the cat, and in severe cases, the cat will suffer from bone diseases.

3. Cats spend 4 hours every day cleaning their hair, licking away the dirt, dust and bacteria on their hair, so they don’t need to be bathed frequently.

The dangers of frequent bathing of cats:

1. If you take a bath too frequently, for example, once a week, most of the sebaceous glands in your body will be washed away, which will cause your hair to dry out.

2. Bathing can cause great stress to cats. Frequent bathing can lead to abnormal appetite, loss of appetite or overeating.
