Hi everyone,

I recently got an exotic shorthair kitten -- she's about 5 months old. As this is my first exotic shorthair, I am still learning how to take care of her.
I clean her eyes daily with a solution I got from the pet store. I was wondering, should I clean her eyes once a day or twice a day? Also her bum gets quite dirty because of her thick fur. She does a pretty good job at cleaning it herself, but sometimes she doesn't.
Should I bathe her? If yes, hw often should I bathe her?
Is there anything else I should know about grooming an exotic shorthair? Any tips are welcome. Thank you.

Hi! Just as a mention, is that solution as chemical free as possible?
I'm seeing suggestions for cleaning their faces daily.

Pampers aqua, and Earthbath hypoallergenic wipes, fragrance free, can be good wipes, or even just a damp cloth.

Bathing is suggested more for helping out with seasonal shedding.
