Oranges and Bananas. Whenever I'd grab one or the other to eat, she'd get up, give me &/or the fruit a nasty, squinty look, then run out of the room. She couldn't even bear to be in the same room as the smell!

Hi Frank...most cats dislike citrus-like scents. Citronella, lemon, oranges, spices such as cayenne pepper.
Here's a list of items cats in general dislikes:
Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents such as orange or lemon (primarily towards cats), cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.
"Havahart's Cat Repellent" uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.
Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.
For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system. Test each substance and observe to see which works as a deterrent so that accidental injestion does not occur as some could then be fatal.
Coleus plants can be effective, but every cat responds differently so it is uncertain without experimenting.

Cats are like humans, they are all different. My cat can't eat certain types of foods, strong scent of litter really bothers her, she doesn't like medicine. It really varies.

Huh?
Each cat has its own distinct likes and dislikes. Most cats don't like strong odors, but that will vary.
