in very short doses, when my cats would attach my feet under bedclothes, I would meep or shriek briefly, emitting "you scareded me!!" emotions. The offending attack cat would mirror this emotion and back off, looking scared.
Seems to be similar with anger, if I yell at them, they stand up to me, angry right back.
You make a good point about the mirroring, but to tell the truth it's hard for me not to get angry at Princess. So much of her behavior is an attempt to keep my attention exclusively on her, and even if Sugar weren't in the picture, I find that kind of behavior tough to take even from humans.

That has worked for me!
