Can captive cats not bathe in winter?

Indoor and outdoor temperatures change greatly in winter. If cats suddenly encounter the stimulation of cold air, it is easy to cause respiratory diseases such as colds, rhinitis, tracheitis and bronchopneumonia. So it is very important to keep warm and cold. (source: PConline photography tribe)

For many owners, bathing cats is really a nightmare. Some owners even send them directly to pet shops to find professional pet beauticians, because it is too difficult to bathe cats. As the temperature drops gradually, the frequency of owners bathing cats may also drop gradually, so some owners ask, can captive cats who only stay at home and never go out in winter not bathe?

If the cat at home never goes out and the home environment is clean, the owner can bathe the cat less frequently. Usually, long-haired cats can take a bath once every two months, and short-haired cats can take a bath once every 3-4 months. According to this frequency, if you have a short-haired cat, it is enough to bathe the cat around winter; If you have a long-haired cat, you can not bathe it in winter, but only if the hygiene work is done well enough.

However, for various reasons, cats may get dirty. When it is necessary to take a bath, the car should pay attention to the following points: 1. If you want to bathe the cat at home, you must do a good job of keeping warm to prevent the cat from catching cold; 2. If the cat can't be bathed at home or the conditions at home are not suitable, the owner should send the cat to a professional pet shop for a bath.

In fact, in real life, the frequency of bathing cats in each cat-owning family may be different. Some owners insist on bathing cats every month, and some say that "our family's health work is in place and the immunization and insect repellent work is done very well", so they will bathe cats less. If you want to bathe your cat for a long time, you might as well comb your cat's hair and clean it.
