Cats clean themselves. Giving them a bath once in a long while shouldn't physically hurt them in any way, but could hurt your relationship with your cat (because of their dislike of water). Flea baths are fine if your cat has fleas, and if your cat gets into something nasty (rotten eggs, dead animals, etc.) then a bath would be fine.

But you should really leave simple dirt cleaning up to the cat. They have a comb built into their tongue for a reason : )
