Have your wife sew 4 tiny paw sized sacks that can be put on the cats feet and held by rubber bands. With the cat’s claws sheathed, their attempts to struggle against being bathed become pathetic and ineffectual, but not at all bloody and painful for you.
You’d probably sustain some wounds getting those things onto kitty’s paws.

I’ve tried doing something like that. It’s much less traumatic all around to just throw the cat in the washing machine for a few minues. You just have to remember to get it out before the spin cycle starts.
