Why did my Kit Kat clock stop working?
Be sure the tail is straight and tight so it’s not throwing the clock off balance (a loose tail requires more power). If the tail isn’t tight and setting exactly flat or square in the lever the animation will not work. Start the animation by pushing very lightly on the top of the tail.

How do you open a cat Kit clock?
Tip 1: If the clock is hanging on the wall, usually it needs a little forward tilt. This brings the magnet above the tail closer to the motor inside the clock, to use the full power and life of the batteries. Pull the head out about 1/2″ from the wall, then give the tail a push to one side to start it.
Why is my cat clock tail not wagging?
If no wag, then make sure the blue packing tape is removed from between the batteries. Make sure the lever can move freely. Make sure the battery contacts are not corroded and tightly grip the batteries. Make sure the clock keeps time.

Does the Kit-Cat clock tick?
It has a little tick tock sound while the tail is moving, but it didn’t bother me… until it stopped after a few months. I would restart the tail and it would run for a short while (sometimes a few days), then quit again. The clock would still keep time, although it’s far from the most accurate clock in my house.
