I have 3 cats. One I can bathe with no problem at all. He actually likes it.

Another I can bathe, but he claws me all up. My vet suggested putting him in a pillow case (with his head sticking out of course). I just use more soap to make sure it gets through the pillow case. This cat feels much more comfortable and calm in the pillow case. He didn't like having the soap put right on him before and the bath was too large for him, so he feels better cuddled in the pillow case, and he doesn't seem to mind the bath.

Now my third cat chewy, I can't bathe. He bites and claws and screams. The last time I tried to bathe him I came out a bloody mess. I buy the cleaning wipes for him, and I'm lucky because he keeps himself really clean as well. I just wipe him down with the wipes every month or so.
