No, you’re not missing anything. Most cats can get along just fine, and have obviously done so for thousands of years.
Some cats actually like water, and might enjoy the bath. Other cats may find it difficult to groom themselves due to weight or age, and could use the help with the groom. Other cats might just get bathed and groomed by their owners as a treat (like a spa day!).
I have never bathed my cat. I always assumed he did it fine himself. He doesn’t stink and rarely goes outside. Am I missing something?
