No need - a towel and a firm grip on the cat's shoulder's will make it
impossible for the cat to get its claws into anything that matters.  Even
if the cat was more of a gymnast than any of mine have ever been, trimming
the claws with nail-clippers would do it.

Warm water won't bother it as much, either (cold water will make it
*angry*).

De-clawing a cat is a pretty unkind thing to do; sometimes it's necessary,
but not in this case.
