My white Persian kitten gets dirty. How often can I safely bathe him?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I have a 2 month 25 days old white Persian kitten. Even though he is an indoor cat his fur gets dirty very easily due to its white colour. I got Beaphar macadamia cat shampoo for him. Is it a safe one and how often can I bathe him??

I generally do not recommend bathing cats at all, if you have some dirt spot issues you can use baby wipes with a tiny amount of peroxide, it will almost always do the job. The shampoo itself is safe, but again, if you ask me- don't do it. and it you chose to do it, definitely do not do it regularly.
