Fun fact! If you live in a dirty environment long enough, you are no longer capable of noticing what's dirty. This is a well recorded phenomenon and why hoarding happens so surprisingly commonly! So, to be nice, even if she doesn't follow any of it, Emily I circled everything in that small section that is disgusting that maybe you can't see.

Every day, no matter what you do, massive amounts of cells in your body die off. This happens to everyone. Sometimes its blood, which get cleaned out by the liver and kidneys, flushing it out usually with urine, sometimes poop.
Sometimes it's skin cells, which shed and make up 90% of dust.
So when your house is dusty, that means it's full of dead things. Because cells are a living thing, they eat, deficate, and keep your body running.
When you don't clean, you can actually become allergic to these dead cells, and get rashes on your body from your own dead skin cells. It can also make your cat allergic to you! Seriously, look it up. Animals can be allergic to humans.
When you don't mop or wipe things down, you leave poop particles over your house from after your cat leaving the litterbox. Little pieces of poop and poop sand get in their claws, which get spread everywhere!
And since you don't wash a lot, since you think not going outside means you're clean, you aren't! You're COVERED in animal fecal matter from your kitty, dead skin cells, bacteria that eat those skin cells, microscopic bugs that also eat the skin cells and bacteria, and form more harmful bacteria and viruses that can make you or your kitty violently ill.
And yes. While your kitty does indeed groom himself, he doesn't right after going potty. So he will have tracked poop sand and particles aaaalll pver the house before cleaning himself!
And if he's allowed on counters or tables, that means anything you eat has also come into contact with dead tissue, poop, bacteria and poop sand!
