Cat clock
With the very mention of the phrase “cat clock” I immediately picture the old Kit Kat clocks from the 1950’s. You know the one. The cat clock is black and has a tail that swings like a pendulum. His eyes move back in forth in sync with the tail. The face reminds you of old black-and-white kitty cartoons. Yeah, that’s the cat clock.
This icon of years gone by is a true treasure for any nostalgic kitty-lover. I decided to look for this style of cat clock on the Internet and I was thrilled with what I found. There are more than a handful of options when it comes to this particular item so you might wan to give yourself some time when shopping.
The original cat clock didn’t run on batteries. A wind up mechanism is used to get this older version running. You might find yourself forgetting but and the item will run out of juice. You might also notice that the time falls behind if you don’t keep up with the winding.
During the 1980’s, manufacturers of the Kit Kat Klock transformed the item into a battery-run device. Many owners love the convenience of the battery powered cat clock but others really want an original version of this timepiece. Finding a cat clock like this can be a challenge.
The trademark rolling eyes along with the adorable wagging tail make the Kit Kat Klock a true icon of its time. You might want to find an original one of these from the 50’s and this is great if you have the cash. The cat clock is really collectable but the original ones are relatively scarce.
However, you can order a great new Kit Kat Klock for a really reasonable price. I couldn’t tell the difference between the older cat clock and the reproductions on the market today. The great thing about these products is that they come in a variety of colors and some have a little extra sparkle for personality.
The new cat clock comes in just about every color in the spectrum and you can even find limited edition items that offer details like Austrian crystals to make the piece shine. Whether you want to stick to the original black Kit Kat Klock or whether you want the basic design with added sparkle and character your best bet is to find a new reproduction.
SIMONE is a battery operated version of the electric powered original cat clock which was made in the 1950's. Re
