I have friends who are all excited about these adorable cat decanters. I pointed out that this has no reviews, has obvious AI generated images, and takes weeks to get here, so probably shipped direct from China. In other words, suspect as hell. Theyre sure its real because its on Amazon.

(13,955 posts)I could not find any decanter that has anything to do with cats or shaped like cats.

(149 posts)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.

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.
Seems shady to me, too

(8,109 posts)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.

(71,162 posts)... 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.

(15,233 posts)I didnt know that about the link.
If you read further down in the items description, it says acrylic, so its apparently made of plastic.
I just dont believe the people who look at obvious AI and think its real.
ProfessorGAC
(71,162 posts)...said glass. That's weird.
Plus, it says it weighs 10 ounces. Hard to believe acrylic would weigh that much.
Curious.
