I actually give my cat a bath about every 2 months during the summer time. She's a Silver Himalayan Persian and she seems to enjoy the pampering of being shampooed. Then, the funny thing is - after wards, and because she has such long fur, she loves to have a blow dry with the hair dryer! It's the funniest thing you ever did see!
She has never scratched or bitten me!

They do sell "cat bags", which are basically mesh bags that allow the cat's head to poke out while the rest of the body is pretty much incapacitated. The water and shampoo runs through the mesh, so you won't have that problem. However, being a groomer for 10 years, I've seen a lot of different methods and the one I like the best is what I call the Suds Bucket. You fill a large bucket with soapy water. Scruff the cat, and slowly lower it into the bucket (not past his neck, though, we don't want to drown the poor thing!). Hold onto the scruff with one hand and start to lather the cat with the other. Once that's done, remove them from the bucket (still keep him scruffed), and start to rinse him off with warm water. Use a slow, quiet stream of water so the noise doesn't scare him. Hold the nozzle of the water hose (which you hopefully have set up for this task!) as close the the skin as possible and rinse thoroughly. If you don't have a good nozzled hose for this, have another clean bucket full of warm water on-hand, and scoop out water to slowly pour over the cat with a measuring cup (or something similar) until rinsed. Afterwards, towel dry your cat as best as you can, then let him air dry the rest of the way. If he's long-haired, be sure to brush him out with a pin brush and/or steel comb before AND after the bath or his coat may mat up. Good luck!

I have to tell to this questoin a very sad story:
(Bangkok, Thailand, Temperature outside around 34°C)
I am regular member in a sauna. One day I heard a desparated "meaow" from a cat when I was sitting inside the saunaroom. I heard this from time to time and was asking others from where it comes. They said that this is since yetserday, but they don't know from where.
I looked behind the saunaroom and found a cat trapped in a small hole behind the saunaroom. We tried then to get the at out of it and finally succed. The cat was so afraid that she jumped in the Hotwaterpool, we could not control her and she swam in an extrem fast speed to the other side of this 2 meterpool (the water was 45°C). Then she ran away in high speed outside of the sauna. We was happy that she survived the hole.
We found the cat next morning dead in a corner near to our sauna. We are not sure why the cat died, was it the shock, was it the hot water? Anyway, I just wanted to tell this about the question of bathing a cat.
I am still very sad when I think about it ... I love Cats!

Once. She was absolutely terrified. I kept on washing her and eventually, completely against her nature, she attacked me. Three stitches later and an animal control revue, I decided to leave the cat be. It took a long time for me to explain what had happened. I took full responsibility and had to beg the city not to take my cat away. It was my own fault. For the 13 years after that, she never once bit me. It was only that one time when terror triggered a natural response.

No, but I had to give my rabbit a bath. My little brother poured syrup all over its back.
OMG, it let out the loudest screech ever. Scared me to death. And it's legs stretched out so far and it went nuts in the tub...
just hose the fur ball off in the yard next time.

My kitties had fleas and were too little for Frontline, so I had to give them a bath once a week until they were older/bigger.
They didn't like it so much LOL
