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.

Cats and kittens are pretty good at keeping themselves clean. If there is a small area that needs bathing, you can do so with a warm wet washcloth. If you really think that Shadow needs a bath, do it once and then wait to see when she needs another. She really shouldn't need one more than monthly, but it is ok to do it weekly if really needed.
