With a keen sense of smell, cats dislike strong fruit odors like orange, lemon and pomelo. They also dislike perfumes and toilet water; a sprayed owner loses their own scent and feels insecure.
They also hate pungent smells – chili, alcohol, smoke, menthol, disinfectant, gasoline, paint – which make them very uncomfortable.
