I C(u) what you did there

The better half is attempting a late night hack on one of the cat's food bowl. We keep a bowl on the front porch so that we can feed the cats separately, but it tends to get slugs in it, so tonight's Mcguyverism is to wrap copper around the base to deter the slimey buggers. Not sure what it's supposed to do, but it couldn't hurt.
I'll have to do some research and figure out if copper actually repels slugs, and if so why. I can kind of see the chemicals in the slug's wake interacting negatively with the copper, but I can't make that statement decisively.
