Give a bath to a cat

We're relatively new to owning cats, but I always heard they don't need baths because they clean themselves. I thought they just needed combed if they had long hair. Does anyone know if they make some kind of cleaning spray for cats that you could just comb through to freshen them up?

You can use a dry shampoo. It's like a powder. You dust the cat with the dry shampoo, then comb it off. The hair will be clean and smell good after that. If your cat has long hair, try to comb it daily. That will reduce the chances of matting. If the hair becomes matted badly, then you have no choice but to give your cat a haircut. Some cats hate a haircut more than a bath.
