56It's not recommended to bathe your cat on the same day after vaccinations. Vaccinations can cause mild stress to a cat's immune system, and bathing may add additional stress. Wait at least 48 hours before bathing to allow your cat's body to fully respond to the vaccine. During this period, monitor your cat for any adverse reactions such as lethargy or loss of appetite. If you notice concerning symptoms, contact your veterinary practice immediately.
