A bit unusual this! Can anyone tell me whether copper really does keep slugs at bay

I feed a semi feral cat in an outbuilding. Last night when I went to feed her I found two horrible enormous slugs crawling over one of her dishes. I have noticed slug slime before. So would putting the dishes on a piece of copper solve the problem? Many thanks

I have had slugs come into the kitchen since I moved here 29 years ago, have often wondered how they get in, I put the plug in the sink so that can't be how they get in, have noticed too the colour change in slugs these days, they always used to be black, not a seen a black one for years, they are now leopard spotted & yellowish, I just take it as part of living in the country surounded by fields, mice appear every autumn too which I have to dispose of
