My cat smell bad in winter. Does he need washing?
I have a cat that i dont usually wash because he doesn’t like it and doesn’t need it but in winter he smells a bit bad and we have to wash him once in a month.
Is this bad smell because he is dirty or sick or something else?

Ask a Veterinarian. Probably not a Chemistry question nor the most effective forum for such questions.

I did ask and they suggested to wash it with dog shampoo wich costs 4 Time more than pantene shampoo here.As some other people here also have cats i thought i ask.

Is it the smell of a non-castrated male, of wet fur, sweaty, or other? Depending where you live (indoors or warm country), it might have dense and insulating winter fur and therefore have too hot for the climate
.Washing a cat or dog once a month isn’t an issue. Personally and after reading a bunch of pet shampoo labels, I feel more comfortable using baby shampoo for my dogs than 90% of the pet products.Using proper, good food and supplements (which is easier done with dogs than cats, I admit) can have a tremendous effect on scent. -
If you have a non castrated male, they can smell bad when go out in the rain, but it eventually goes away when dry because they self groom. If you wash your cat regularly they will become distant. It should be a last resort, if healthy they should not need a bath.

Yes it is non castrated male. This happened last year which was his first winter.
I don’t remember the details much. Just know the smell was not pleasant.
I will see what happens this winter.
