Animals clean / "bathe" themselves in nature. Showering is natural.

They do so with spit (at least cats do). Not with petrochemicals and aluminum.

You’re aware that there are many, many, aluminum, petroleum, and sulfate free products out there, right? You can also just exfoliate in the shower with only a wash cloth and water. Just because there are shitty products on the market it doesn’t mean you don’t have options for healthy, basic, and yes, natural for humans (which are, arguably, not cats.), hygiene.
