Cats paws are just as clean as people's feet. Cats are always grooming themselves and that also includes their claws (they pick at their claws with their teeth.) Cats should not be bathed unless they have had an accident such as diarrhea (clean the rear with warm soapy water) or they have gotten into something sticky and need to be bathed. If it's not all that messy on their fur then use warm, soapy water on a washcloth and rub it out and then dry them with a clean towel. This previous method is only needed if the cat could get sick on whatever is on their fur such as oil or any sort.
You really need to take your cat to a vet so that he can give you something that will help. There's really nothing else you an do.
Like in cleaning itself? My cats do that, they find a part of their fur that is "unclean" and they bite at it, then lick it clean. They don't draw blood though, so if your cat is hurting itself by biting all the time, or drawing blood; you should take your cat the vet and have it checked out. Or, it may be because of fleas, the cat maybe biting itself to itch where the fleas are.
Really? Is it really necessary to try to stop your cat from bathing itself? It's a natural part of a cats life. Cats are very clean animals, and they know when they need a bath. So don't stop them, it's fine.
A cat typically spends about 30% of its time grooming itself, which can vary depending on age, health, and breed. Grooming is a natural behavior that helps cats regulate body temperature, keep their fur clean, and maintain social bonds through scent marking.
A cat cannot give any disease that it does not have itself. A cat can bring in fleas from outside, and fleas may in turn carry diseases; and there is a slight potential for a cat to bring in infected mice (in drought-stricken areas, cats have been known to hunt and catch mice with hantavirus). But by and large, a healthy cat will not bring any significant diseases with him.

If your cat is hesitant, it may not have been taught how to clean by the mother. Either way, if you wet the base of the tail or the anus itself, it will encourage your cat to clean itself.
Teaching a cat to clean itself effectively involves providing a clean environment, grooming your cat regularly, and encouraging self-grooming through positive reinforcement. Use a soft brush to groom your cat, and reward them with treats or praise when they groom themselves. Additionally, ensure your cat has access to clean water and a balanced diet to support their grooming habits.
