<grin> Squirtguns work really well for most cats - even my eldest, who will lean into a sprinkler stream to lap at the water (so that it runs down his ruff and soaks his front feet), hates being squirted.
We've found that a quick puff of air in the face does the same trick. Our auxiliary backup cat, Cleo, is a bit of a wild thing. She will occasionally go psycho while being scratched, petted or otherwise shown loving attention -- or if she notices a hand, foot, or other body part moving under the covers. I can (usually) break her out of psycho mode by blowing a little puff of air into her face.
