Famous Friday: Kit-Cat Clock

by Paws on Your Heart on January 18, 2013

The famous feline we chose this week has been around since the early 1930s. This feline is so famous that you have probably seen him in your Grandmother’s kitchen — moving his eyes and tail in sync. The famous cat we are talking about is of course the iconic Kit-Cat clock.

Everyone has seen a Kit-Cat clock at least once in his or her life. But where did the idea for this interesting clock come from?

The cheerful Kit-Cat clock began production in the 1930s. The Kit-Cat clock acted as a sense of comfort for people struggling during the Great Depression, cheering people up with his moving eyes and tail. The clock became a staple in most American kitchens, creating a sense of comfort for everyone who owned one.

The Kit-Cat clock has remained a staple in the homes of many people due to the positive childhood memories that people have when they see the clock. Cat enthusiasts also keep the Kit-Cat clock popular, because what cat lover wouldn’t want a funky cat clock in their home?
