From my direct multi-year study, the surest way to have a cat not lay in a specific place is to place a fluffy cat bed in that place. Also, no toy is more precious to a cat than a non-toy item stolen from the hooman with hair ties being one of the most precious items.

My cat yells at me a lot but my god I took a pastic bag from him a few days ago that he was licking (is there a more annoying noise on the planet?) and my god he sulked about it for a good 18 hours.
My cat also likes to lick plastic, but they're plastic containers. No idea why.
I cat sat once for a friend who had a plastic goblin. I spent the entire two weeks obsessively checking that I didn't leave any plastic out only to (occasionally) find the cat happily chewing on something that I didn't think they would find.

I learned my lesson about the depths of feline creativity lol and I was thankful they didn't get into anything that hurt them

She doesn't even like to chew plastic. She will just sit there and lick plastic bins.
Copying humans, they feel they need more microplastics
