I recently lost my cat who was more than 16 years old. We never needed to bathe him even though he had fairly long hair and spent half his time outside. I brushed him a lot but as far as I know he never had a bath nor was he ever professionally groomed. Before you say ewww gross, I'll say he was perfectly clean and did not smell. He didn't really have any scent at all.
Just lost my 15+ yr old cat. I don't think we'd bathed him in probably 5 years. He had long hair and liked to eat his own hair. Despised the brushing. Needless to say, he had tons of hairballs

But he was a clean cat. Never had a scent or anything. Was a good animal.
