How often can I bathe my overweight cat who can't groom herself?

Question

My cat is a bit overweight and I think she struggles with cleaning herself in some areas. Is it ok if I bathe her? I’ve done it twice already but I’m not sure if I should keep doing it every once in a while. Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 3 years and 1 month old | 11 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can definitely bathe her perhaps every 2-3 months. Also, you could consider a diet such as Hills metabolic weight management diet to try to get her to lose weight. Good luck!
