It is hard to tell from your post whether your cat is being agressive or actually doing play aggression.

The water is a good idea, but don't wave a fly swatter in his face. This will just make him more aggressive. Frankly, if you want to startle him, carry a can of pennies in your hand and when he attacks shake it. But not near him. The catch is to get the cat to believe you have nothing to do with the pennies making the noise or the water squirting his face. Some people even use those aerosol boat horns.

Also be sure that he's getting lots of playtime with a feathered toy. And do try the Comfort Zone plug-in with Feliway.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
