depends on your cat but i wouldn't advise it, simply as most cats don't like to be bathed in the first place, and so too much stress for momma-to--be - also why expose her to the chance of catching cold at this stage? you'll have plenty of time to do that after she's had and weaned her kittens. best advice - have her sterilized then.

It is never a good idea to give a cat a bath. It is even a worse idea to give a cat a bath when she is pregnant. Her first instinct will be to run and get away from the water and you. She could injure herself and/or the kittens. Please don't bathe her. She will look after how own grooming, especially since she is pregnant.

Cats are very clean and fastidious animals ,
.NO! NO ! NO!
Never bath a cat!
Cats above all things hate water !!!
they do not need baths
To attempt to bath a pregnant cat,
would be very stressful for the cat , And very cruel .
And you yourself would most likely, get bitten and scratched
Do not even consider doing that !!!
When she has had her kittens, please ,
take her to the vet to be spayed,
.
I hope your cat will have a successful pregnancy ,
and all will be well .

You should never give a cat a bath.
A cat's saliva has a natural deodorant in it. A cat does not smell because of that fact.
A cat's ears, unlike a humans, go straight down into their skull. Once you get water in their ear it stays in there and actually starts to rot.
Please leave your cat alone to do her own bathing. Brushing is appreciated, but never bathing.

Yes it's perfectly fine to give a pregnant cat a bath. It will not harm the cat or the baby's she is carrying.

Yes. It's actually better to give it a bath so it will be clean when it gives birth. That way, the kittens will be safer. Just be carefull not to stress the cat out.

I agree with getfit. You're not supposed to give your cat a bath and it might upset them, causing it to miscarriage.

As long as you don't mind the fur sticking to your tongue...
..Should be okay with a vet-approved pet shampoo. Probably better off not, if she's too pregnant. Don't want to injure or upset the whole package.
