I recommend catnip, lots and lots of catnip. And maybe a smiley - stiffdrink for you.

DragonQueen, I really like the book I recommended earlier on this thread, because it helps the owner discern among several different types of cat aggression. The chapter on aggression identifies fear aggression, petting-induced aggression, redirected aggression, pain-induced aggression, territorial aggression, intercat aggression, stress-related aggression, and more. If you wish to take a look:
