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.
