Lion in the Tub.

After a leopard in the bed and a cheetah in the car, wouldn’t you rather be lion in the bathtub? This image of a circus lion getting a wash was found at Wisconsin History. Link

Now thats one tame (e.g. totally willbroken) lion. Imagine what a scene your little kitty makes, when you try to bathe her. Now imagine the lion on that same rampage...
(not to mention that I think cats need no baths at all, because they can look after themselves...)
I wonder if that's Clyde Beatty.
And were that lion "totally willbroken" there would be no need for the bars behind it.
Lion taming may be boorish and 19th century in mindset, but it is also very dangerous. If you have a cat, you also know how hard they are to tame. It's not easy to convince a 500 pound angry fur ball that it shouldn't kill you.
This picture needs a "do not want" caption really bad. Add this lion's bath to the cat-internet meme.
Otherwise, yes, my cats have sharp nails and teeth, are domestic animals and yet manage to scrath and bite bad. However tame, lion = wild animal. One bite and you're out.
I didn't think lions needed bath either...
