No, that would be how people bathe.
Cats bathe by licking, or having rain fall on them
if they're lucky enough to be/go outside.

A quicker way to give kitty a bath would be just to
add a drop of liquid soap to about 2-3 gallons of water in
a pail. Then soak a wash-rag in the water and wipe
kitty for a couple minutes. Don't soak kitty too much.
Try starting with kitty's head, work back, then down.

Does it deep clean to kitty's skin or make them smell like you want
them to?
No.
But it is a lot easier, and kitty will have a better understanding
of what you're doing to her/him, and they won't fight so much.

With any luck, when you go to look in the bathtub to see where your cat has
gone, she'll sneak up behind you, push you in and you'll drown.
