man, my whale tail isn't even good for that with all its openings! I wish I could learn to love it, but I just don't. That's the most expensive cat dish I've ever seen, and the best laugh I've had today. Though so, so sad because it makes me despair of ever making friends with my own sad, sad Fong Dong. My sweet well-intentioned but ignorant husband and his pesky credit card online habit... | | | |

It isn't the most expensive, my siamese cat ate out of a crystal bowl that we couldn't find any other use.
Scott, I could use one for water if you want to help a kitty out. | | | |

Even the cat don't want to eat out of the Shlong, what does that teach you? | | | |

But...if you like it.. that's what's important.
My only advice for people is to buy it used if you want to try it. There are plenty of either ebay knock off's or people that bought and now are selling. | | | |

I actually like it for specific applications where it performs well but these situations are few and far between and actually involve using my flash remotely. Course mine only cost me a Mojito and the lessons I learned about flash trying to get it to work were worth more than that.

Looks like Fong threatened Ebay....now you have to google "lambency diffuser" to find the knock offs. | | | |

Like the cat, but judging by his expression, he's not thrilled with the Fong. | | | |

While this is innovative and funny, I simply chose to sell mine.
