i have also a silver domestic shorthaired tabby called moomin she does not have a bath at all and i wouldnt attempt it.
she does get brused though just to make her feel a little pampered too
I think most people who have persians bath them once a month as you can really get down to there undercoat which is like fluff to make sure its comed through properly ( i do know what i,m doing as i am a qualified dog groomer ) And i also wouldnt bath her if she wouldnt let me blow dry her as she takes up to a hour to dry and comb out with the hair dryer. Leaving persians damp is a big no no.
Ela thanks for your concern
i didnt meen to bite its just that i love mango so much and look after her like shes one of my children , i wanted a persian for 2 yrs and read up for those 2 yrs before i got her.
I know what you were getting at now and no i wouldnt advise bathing any other cat , moomin claws me and makes me bleed when i put her spot on flea and wormers on
