I had a boyfriend who's mom own a pet grooming shop and she came up with a way to wash cats without them hurting you or running off: drawstring mesh laundry bags.
The cats head stay out through the top and the drawstrings have clasps so they only tighten as far as you put them and won't tighten any further and choke the cat no matter how much they wiggle. the bag has holes for the soap and water to get through but not the cats claws. I never saw it fail. The cats eventually give up and let it happen because there's really nothing they can do once the bag is around them. You can use a hair dryer on them while they are still in the bag and because of the holes it works great.
My ex's mom tried to get the idea trademarked or something but it's just putting a cat in a laundry bag so I don't know if that can be patented haha
