I've heard they tend to feel more comfortable with you if you ignore them, and people who don't like cats ignore them. Try saying "hi kitty!" and trying to pet them while making eye contact as soon as you meet them and hopefully they'll stay away. Results may vary.

Yeah pretending you're going to reach out to hug them does sometimes work. Gotta make sure I don't actually touch them though.
