How often should a free-roaming cat be bathed?

A free-roaming cat can bathe once every 1-3 months, with frequency by how dirty it gets. Cats are clean and self-groom by licking, so they rarely get dirty and need no frequent baths. Bathing easily stresses them, so do not think frequent baths are good. If truly dirty with hard-to-clean matter, bathe promptly to prevent infection. Also deworm free-roamers monthly externally and every 3 months internally.
