Friend got aggro-ed by cat while running a mission at 05:42 in the morning. After some testing i've found a bait and switch coupled with dampening - found an old olive in the fridge and baited a test cat to the bed where i proceeded to make a bag out of cover and shuffle him for 5 minutes. However, i'm not sure this is the best way to get rid of cat aggro - on account of maybe ****ing him off. Alternatives to this that i am considering are feeding him red wine and imitating female cat outside the house.
Please give feedback fast, my friend is in dire need of it !

Spray bottle, filled with water. You'll dump cat aggro fast.
There's always getting/waking up another cat and dumping one on top of the other. (They'll aggro each other and leave you alone)

Take a 1-2 foot long piece of string, and tape it to some tinfoil. crumple the foil in to a ball so that the string is sticking out. Get the cat's attention with it and hurl it down the hallway.
It will keep the thing busy for hours.

Go to bed, get pillow. Remove pillow from pillow-cover, discard pillow. Get cat. Insert cat in pillow-cover. Tie pillow-cover closed.
When it is time to release feline....better have the bandages, iodine and gooshy-food all ready. Feline may shred tender body parts. Having the good food all ready may delay and mitigate the mauling later on.

Laser pointer works wonders. If not that often a simple flashlight will work although those both still require some modicum of effort on your part.
Catnip if you have some and your cat digs it (most do...some don't).
Putting baggies on their feet will annoy them so much they will totally forget about anything else although you will likely laugh too hard yourself to do anything either (quite funny). Probably vaguely animal abuse if done too long but works.
Mostly get a spray bottle though.

throwing things at/for the cat doesn't work that good... he attacks them and in a few minutes he aggroes me again
i tryed catnip... no reaction
i don't have dogs in the house but the box of puppies sounds like fun, i would like to try it
the monster is a norvegian forest cat, do you think it will work? and can someone send me some?

Hmm...if you've got inescapable cat aggro, there's another tactic. Get cat, place in lap. Pet cat. Don't let cat escape or play. Pet cat. Pet cat. Pet cat. Pet cat some more. Also, pet the cat.
When feline has HAD ENOUGH, release cat and offer to pet some more. Cat will de-aggress quickly.

I found that the following was quite successful when dealing with cat-aggro. Show love :)
I know, it's a foreign concept to most internet nerds, but it works... when cat attacks, grasp cat firmly under stomach with one hand, while doing the same under its chest. Raise it to your lap level, and gently place it on the lap. Stroke its head/neck/back. Pay particular attention to under its chin, behind its ears and down it's back towards its tail. Not only will this stop it chewing on you, it usually makes it emit a strangely soothing ululation... its purr. It may hang about, or quickly jump off.
However, if done correctly, the cat will be at the very least confused at the attention paid to it and leave the area. Rarely, it may even return the kindness by rubbing your ankles or jumping back up into your lap. If it does so, let it, since an immobile cat is NOT attacking you, nor is it doing anything more than providing warmth and affection.
Love reciprocated. It's better than being eaten.

love doesn't work while he is like this... it's like electronic warfare and dreads in siege mode...
i tryed petting him but i only have 2 arms and i can't restrain him and pet him in the same time
while he was trying to eat me, he was purring, the whole time
the monster went to the kitchen to eat so i'm free for the moment, but i still don't know how to calm him next time he aggroes me

In my professional (exorcist?) opinion, you should repeat this action every 5 minutes until your cat learns not to annoy you. Consider this a short-term solution however, as if your cat develops an immunity for this you'll be in serious trouble.
... or the opposite will occur, and he'll run away for life and die in a road or something. AND on that note I declare myself unable to be held responsible for it 
soooo yes... GL

Jam laser pointer button with toothpick. Duct-tape the pointer with toothpick to ceiling fan. Turn ceiling fan on low-speed.
Or go hi-tech with one of this.

Ahh, I understand... I've had one like that, too... perverse little bugger...
Ff you can't distract him with baubles, put him outside for respite, or pet him... fly swatter?
It's non-injurious but painful :) Swat him every time he aggros, give him 30 seconds to forget, then pick him up and pet him? Might make him associate you with Love instead of Good-eating...??? Might work.
Some cats are just bastards, though.
Is he a tabby by any chance? My tabbies were usually the worst for the attacking-while-purring-bit.
You could just step on his head and get a new cat, but I assume you're not a monster

My little kitten is a butt sometimes but this thing sounds almost unbelievable.
Look, just get a shock collar with a remote. When he does something you zap him. If he tries to remove the collar, you zap him. He'll figure out real quick whats good and whats bad.

my cat is about 3 yrs old, isnt fixed and is a huge pain in the ass
best thing i do.. pick her up by the scruff of her neck (as if her mother is transporting her.. it doesnt hurt them), turn on the bathtub, soak her head. works great for a few hours, and some times they totally just screw off for the whole day! they have to 'lick' themselves dry, so it takes awhile

Water usually works, but you have to keep it up. Can't just expect it to get the message after one splash of water.
