Yes, this is fine, but don't apply any human soaps or shampoos to her, or this can damage the skin. I don't recommend giving a bath more than once a month, because you can wash away the natural protective barriers of the skin. Only use shampoos labeled for cats if you want to clean her with something more than water. I hope that helps and all is well with Yassi.
