IME, the cat ends up scared of *you* rather than the place. Our neighbours
semi-feral cat likes our bird table, but flees at a rate of knots when it
sees me (catapult+gravel saw to that). But ... it still comes back when it
can't see me.


That makes it a two-stage process. Local cats have learned to flee at
a rate of knots when my wife enters the garden, and later throw
themselves under the wheels of buses when she walks down the street.
