Does my cat need a bath? I know my mind on this subject. I’m quite clear on it. The default position is that cats do not need a bath and people should adhere to that advice. Jackson Galaxy concurs with me. I’d like to quote and refer to what he says to reinforce the …
Every year I think about helping cats in cold weather. Where I live is fairly mild compared to the mid-west where (with the wind chill factor) last night it was more than 50 degrees BELOW zero F.
