Kittens can generally start getting baths around three months old. This is because by this age, their immune systems are mostly developed, allowing them to better resist the stress and infection risks associated with bathing. However, for safety's sake, it's best to wait 1-2 weeks after they've completed all their vaccinations before giving them their first bath.

We also need to understand how often to bathe our cats, as they have a strong self-cleaning ability and often keep themselves clean by licking their fur. Generally, short-haired cats can be bathed every two months, while long-haired cats usually need to be bathed once a month to keep their fur clean and healthy.
