Rainbow Cats

It's getting harder to find the old style Magic Mugs.  This week's mug comes right from the thrift store and is the newer style of magic mug.  You can identify these (usually) by the fact that the outside of them mug appears black and the inside is white.  Careful scrutiny can show you a pattern or warming it by rubbing it with your thumb to warm it may give you a bit more pattern, as I happened to find today.  

Once hot liquid is added to these style magic mugs, the entire mug will seem to clear, even the handle, to reveal the picture beneath - in this case a pair of beautiful cats drawn in rainbow colors on a black background. .  The mug is brand new and even had its original bar code on the bottom.  (I wonder if they were received as a gift, but never used so the cats were never seen.)
A bit of an oddity with this mug, as the pictures of the cats didn't wrap all the way around the mug and when heated, the white space at the handle becomes visible.  Still a wonderful addition to my collection!
