Or this from the net:

..Yell "Ouch"
Don't scream it, but say "Ouch" loudly and clearly. While you have your
cat's attention, slowly remove your hand from his clutches. Don't yank it
away or he'll think play is on, and he'll grab it again.
"Scruff Him"
This is one of the most effective forms of discipline of cats. It mimics the
punishment given a kitten by his mother when he became unruly. Grasp him by
the scruff of the neck and firmly push him groundward, while saying "No!" in
a firm tone of voice. Hold him in this position for only three or four
seconds and release. Chances are, he'll slink away, thoroughly chastened, to
bathe and recover his dignity. But he'll remember this lesson for a long
time.
