    Melbcat has me pinned and I couldn’t reach my cuppa… but with skilful manoeuvring I managed to get hold of the mug handle with my Kmart grabber stick and bring it over without spilling it.

        I was very surprised I didn’t just dump it everywhere.

        I stuck the top claw sideways through the handle then twisted my wrist anti-clockwise so the top claw pressed against the inner curve of the handle and the bottom claw pressed against the outside of the mug below it. The weight held it in place. Then I swung it horizontally in a curve to my other hand.

        If I’d just grabbed the handle like a hand grip and lifted it upwards the weight would have caused the mug to flop forward and spill
