Cats should wait about a week after vaccination before bathing. This is because cats are prone to stress, and vaccination puts them in a stressful state. During this period, their immunity decreases, and the vaccine itself acts as an antigen, further weakening their immune system. Therefore, cats are more susceptible to illness during this time. It's recommended to wait a week after vaccination before bathing your cat.

3. After a cat is vaccinated, it is important to prevent illness, keep it warm, and provide appropriate nutrition.
