I could not find any decanter that has anything to do with cats or shaped like cats.

The way the picture is taken of each variety is very deceiving. Each decanter is actually smaller then a can of soda. I am sure it is made of plastic, not glass.

Also, it weighs 10 ounces. A 10 ounce plastic container wouldn't weigh ⅝the of a pound.
So, I'm thinking it is glass.

Still in the ballpark for a 10 fl. oz. glass container. (Unless that's just the "shipping weight" and the actual weight is less).

The other characteristics of this seller would put me off buying from them, though.

So, that is a definite buyer beware. I have had good luck when I have (inadvertently) purchased something shipped from China, but in this case, with no reviews, it COULD be one of those hit-and-run type operations.

Visit the LIZHUA storefront

Stupidly I followed the link and found this: *(Warning: Gross and dirty)

Thr product description reads exactly like those at, for instance Temu - all non sequiturs and no connections.

But at Temu it would almost certainly be less pricey

But I wouldn't have it at any price.

... they're cute, but not for us.
They seem awfully expensive too. There's about 6 cents of glass there.
One more thing: if you look at your link, you'll see a question mark at the end of the first line. If you get rid of that question mark & everything after, you'll get a simpler, cleaner link that will take you to the exact same place.
I learned thus from another DUer some time ago.

I didn’t know that about the link.

If you read further down in the item’s description, it says acrylic, so it’s apparently made of plastic.

I just don’t believe the people who look at obvious AI and think it’s real.

...said glass. That's weird.
Plus, it says it weighs 10 ounces. Hard to believe acrylic would weigh that much.
Curious.
