  The see-through double-walled tumbler mug was designed so the interior cup, which is a slight pinkish color, is in the shape of a cat's paw that becomes visible when liquid is poured.

  The $30 limited-edition mug first went on sale Tuesday in select stores throughout China and sold out the same day. Customers started to line up in camping tents for the release the night before.

  However, because of the high-demand of customers who wanted to get their paws on one of the cups, Starbucks made 1,000 of the cups available for purchase online for Chinese consumers. These reportedly sold out in less than a tenth of a second, according to Delish.
