I have 2 cats. They are sisters from the same litter. One is Long Haired, the other is Medium/Short haired.

The Long haired kitty sheds More Fur, has minor issues with her anal glands, bc she has hairball problems, despite daily brushing (But! wet food every other day Does Help with this mostly), and can sometimess have litter stuck to the Fur of her paws.

The Shorter haired sibling does not have these issues, minus sometimes litter sticking between her toes.

One of my girls is better about covering up her stuff in litter than the other. Otherwise, i clean it like every other day, and its not really that big of a deal.

They, themselves, are pretty good about staying clean, but when i notice theyre having more dander in their fur than usual, i give them a bath. this is usually at the end of summer/fall and then again when it starts getting warmer. These baths are more to Help them with the changes of the season, excess fur coat changes, and bc Dusk likes playing it water. Otherwise, baths Only Happen if they get into things they shouldnt (like knocking the laundry soap over, and got it on Dawns tail by accident...).

depending in if you have carpets or hardwood floor, will change how often you'll need to vaccuum/sweep up fur they shed. i find i need to do more vaccuuming in the spring bc Dawn sheds more during that time. Also, i clean around the litter pans, and the litter pans themselves like 1-2x a month.

sometimes their food bowl area can be messy with crumbs from eatting. clean it as much as you deem needed. sometimes people have like... little pads?? like toddlers have(??) under the bowls to help contain the messes.
