Default Wipes instead of baths?

Squeak is an indoor cat so I just buy the bathing wipes that look like diaper wipes instead of bothering with a bath. Does anyone else skip baths altogether?

With a cat that sounds like just the thing! I imagine the cat might like it much better then a bath! I have used these on our dog before as a in between bath kind of thing.

Our cats clean themselves, if they need a bath I will give them one in the kitchen sink. I never thought about wipes, I bet they would work well.

I guess I am mean, we still bathe our cat but its an inside cat and she is barely a bother in the tub. We must be lucky since she also only needs about a bath a year as she is a "princess".

They sound like the way to go with cats! I have just used actual diaper wipes on our indoor dog if she gets dirty outside, and I don't have time to bathe her.

I have only bathed our cat once and I would not do it again. I do use the wipes about 2 times a week and my daughter brushes her right before I do them.

I've only bathed one cat and that was because she was full of fleas. She had gotten away from us and disappeared for over a month. When she came home, I picked her up and fleas were crawling all over her. I took her to the bathroom and gave her a flea bath. I reapplied her spot on treatment too. If they were dirty, I think the wipes would be wonderful.

When I got her as a baby she was fine in the bathroom sink and I'd (gently) blow dry her. As soon as she first heard the vacuum cleaner then the blow drying days were older and by then she could do it herself. For those of you not familiar-I'm talking about specially made cat wipes in the pet store-not kid wipes.
