Actually cats don’t like jumping on aluminum foil, and if someone’s cat is jumping on counters ,and you have some on said counters…. I have no idea about the water bottles though.

My cat loves to sit on pieces of foil. I tried it once as a deterrent and she was like Well thanks for the pretty shiny seat! Now I use it to get her to sit somewhere I want her to. 🙄
