I know she only did it because she loves me, and she promised she wouldn't do it again. I think the scratch on my face will heal pretty good, but How can I stop her from attacking me again?

katlin is fixed and well fed. I was holding her when she launched the attack with her back (and only) claws

Would need more detail on the circumstances.
Did you startle her? Were you "in the way" when something spooked her, and she was trying to get away? Were you pestering or loving her up when she was warning you that she'd had enough? Tail swishing, low growling sound, that you chose to ignore.
Cats don't generally attack without reason. Could she be sick, or have an injury or sore that you're unaware of?

Cats are predators. They are not farmers. It is in their instinct to hunt down and kill. Even though you provide a gourmet diet for kitty, he still needs to practice his hunting skills whether you like it or not. Predatory behavior is often characterized by long periods of lying in wait and stalking followed by an explosion of activity - the attack. It's common for a cat to creep up to a sleeping owner and playfully attack them in bed. Some cats sit quietly, staring at a wiggling toe, then with lightening speed, they pounce and attack. Other cats lie in wait under furniture until a foot passes by, then their claw reaches out and grabs. Cat play is an extension of their predatory nature. It provides the cat with the opportunity to develop and sharpen its hunting skills, even if it never needs to go out and catch its own dinner. Although your cat may be playing, playful bites can still hurt and cause injury.
You need to learn her body language so that you can put her down before she goes into aggro mode and clips you with her claws. Usually the ears will flatten, she will turn and stare at you, or her tail will start to flick.

If you talked to her, and she is not doing it again. Stop worrying. She probably forgot to tell you to look out for a sticker/sore spot. Or that she was just not in the mood to be picked up. Cats have mood swings also. Even talking cats.

im guessing you didnt have any bratwurst in the house all weekend either. and she probably is getting upset that you dont let her type your emails anymore. get her her own lap top, then you wont have to share.
