KIT CAT KlockGentlemen (Galaxy Blue)

Doesn't keep time and doesn't keep wagging. As a huge "watch guy" and a lover of time pieces, this has failed me at every stage. The batteries required are uncommon, the wagging magnetics can be affected by the wall it's placed on(apparently), if adjusted incorrectly you can potentially break the entire internal mechanism. The price:quality just isn't there.This product was not purchased for me, but as a gift. I'm upset for them.

Me ha gustado todo. Es precioso y muy retro. Deseando colgarlo!

I've wanted one of these for years and finally decided to buy, even though it's a bit overpriced. When I received it I was really excited because it looks cute, but it felt fragile and flimsy - not what I expected for this price point. Then I had to specifically buy C size batteries which I didn't own because nothing else in my home uses this size. After getting the batteries and mounting the clock on the wall, the tail/eyes didn't move. No clock in this day and age should be this finicky, especially at this price point. Spent hours trying to get the tail to wag and even followed their video tutorials. Nothing worked. How can a $60 clock be this poorly designed? They've had 80 years to figure it out.If you look on their website there are 40 troubleshooting FAQ's....what kind of basic product has this many problems??

My aunt owns an electric red Kit Cat clock she purchased in 1991. Unfortunately, electric ones are no longer manufactured. Now they are all battery-operated. We wanted to buy another one, and this autumn-themed Kit Cat clock is perfect. It's a charming piece of nostalgia, and done in colors that perfect for Fall and Halloween. The cat is bright orange with a black tail and bow tie. It is a limited edition, so you should pick one up soon before they're gone.What's great is this clock comes in a variety of colors and patterns. We plan on buying a yellow one for my son's room and an orange one for our other bedroom. A pink Lady clock will be added to the bathroom. We're cat lovers, so these clocks fit our personality and home. I just wish the eyes and tail were easier to animate.The advantage of the battery-operated clocks is that you can hang them anywhere; you're not tied to a wall outlet. The disadvantage is the magnetic system used to animate the eyes and tail on these battery-operated clocks. It is very sensitive, and where you hang the clock becomes tricky. Our Autumn clock worked well when I held him upright in my hand. However, when I hung him up on the wall in our kitchen, the eyes and tail would not move, but the clock mechanism worked fine.I checked the FAQs on the Kit Cat clock website and it stated to have the nail perpendicular or slightly angled in the wall, and don't hang the clock flush against the wall. Allow 1/2" space at the head area. So you'll need a fairly long nail. We tried this, and it didn't work. My husband suggested we move the clock slightly left at the bottom. The eyes and tail barely moved, but at least they were moving. Then after an hour, they stopped.We were about to give up and start a return on this clock, but decided to move the clock to another wall, and now he works great. Apparently the wall has to be level and vertical. Since home construction is not perfect, this clock may work on certain walls and not on others in your home. It's not easy to get the eyes and tail working, unless you're lucky and hang it on a wall with the right conditions. It's too bad the California Clock Company couldn't either make an electric version of this clock or come up with an less sensitive animation system that would readily work on any wall of your home.Other reviewers have commented that the plastic used for this clock is cheap-looking. My aunt's old electric Kit Cat clock from 1991 is made of the exact same plastic with the same thickness. So the clocks are the same quality as the electric ones from 1991. I'll admit these clocks are expensive for the materials used, but the main reason people are unhappy is because there's no guarantee the eyes and tail will animate.Update: I purchased the pumpkin orange Kit Cat clock also. He worked right away. However, I tested a couple of walls in my home by removing an existing item and hanging him up in its place. That was how I tested to see if the wall was level and vertical. Once I determined that, I put up the Pumpkin clock and he worked like a charm. I also own a black Kit Cat clock that had the same problem of the eyes not moving. Once I moved him to a suitable wall, he now works like a charm as well.

Are you ashamed of selling this total crap? It’s small, CHEAP plastic! I paid extra for the ‘glow’ bow and didn’t receive it. Instead. Sent me a plain white bow. Plus, it’s an obvious return. The plastic tail clip is broken and there was no small sponge piece anywhere inside the clock or box as the instructions say there should be. I wouldn’t buy this at the $5 and below store and I expected decent quality for $59.99 + tax. Instead got a total piece of junk!
