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
