After hours, it finally works!
The media could not be loaded. **I got mine to work buy attaching a small counterweight to the bottom backside of the tail. It works perfectly at full swing, flush against the wall, no weird angles or need to prop it up. I rolled up about 4in of grey duct tape and taped it to the back of bottom of the tail. Don't add too much weight or you might break the mechanism inside as it's fragile, just need a tiny bit extra**At first when I got it, right away I noticed that it is made of cheap plastic, it doesn't feel worth 60 bucks. I bought the 15in version, and this is very misleading as the cat itself is about half that size. It is way smaller than you think. The 15in one takes two C batteries, which is kind of an odd size for something like this. Don't miss the tail in the box, it is clipped to the inside of the lid.Honestly, after about a few hours of watching videos, reading reviews and troubleshooting, I was convinced that my clock was broken and was going to return it, because I couldn't get the tail/eyes to swing/rotate. After all that I finally figured out that the tail is too light to keep the momentum going on the swinging pendulum inside. Tail would drag against inside wall of the clock making it hard for the tail to keep moving. I even tried hanging at various angles as listed in the instructions.Once I got this working I must say I am very happy with this clock. I still think it is overpriced, made extremely cheap, and bad that it comes with the design defect of the tail being too light, however, once I got it working, it is everything I really wanted, when I made this purchase. I would recommend to others, as despite the price it is actually probably the cheapest you will find it currently. (Unless you find one at a thrift store or something, and probably need to fix it). Please try my method if you absolutely can't get it to work, as once you see it working to full function it's really awesome, and you will remember why you bought it in the first place. :)

Average quality but addictively cool
The media could not be loaded. It is made of cheap plastic. The finish came full of swirls like if someone had brushed it. Besides that, it is a nice and very cool clock. It is scary and hypnotizing as it should be. The mechanism works well but it needs to me perfectly balanced. It is a bit loud, but torelable.Finally, I think this cats are haunted. I want to buy another one even it is expensive and not the best quality. Beware with that.

Perfect clock if you do a little hack they don’t tell you
So I purchased three clocks and all have encountered the same issues. Either they are too loud or they stop moving after a day or two. I was able to resolve both of these problems. I do wish they told you in the instructions how to troubleshoot, but I have figured out a way, and I hope to help others the same. Try to do these 3 things if you are frustrated with your clock.1. If you use a nail in the wall, the clock has a tendency to slip head down wards which should be fine, but I have found that with all of the clocks that I used a nail, they all stopped wagging the motion after a little while. If you switch to a screw, it will keep the position of the clock in place and it would not slip head forward. I believe this causes the movement issue to go away. The reason here is the clock should be completely flush with the wall, this helps the movement.2. You should probably use a level. To get these perfect you should use a level.3. To help with the noise being too loud I found that if I used a very light silicone lubricant and applied just a tiny drop to the eye of the lower and upper portion that holds it in place as well as a tiny drop to the eye stems that rub against the black holder things the clock almost made no noise. The eyes is what’s causing all the noise and by putting some light silicone lubricant in those areas my noise completely went away.4. Lastly the lubrication of the eyes completely smoothes out the animation motion and helps with the animation to never stop if you followed all the steps above.That is all it takes. I wonder if this company should take a note and do something about it as it can help a lot of frustrated people, I know it helped me, I thought I had to return all 3 clocks back but nope all good.By the way, people are complaining about cheap quality for the price, you have to understand that this is a product made in US. Of course it will not be as cheap as a Chinese product. Same with a UK product being made in UK. People literally can’t read that it’s made in its own country, seriously. Other that that it’s a very cool clock, a legend and I’m totally glad to have 3 of them.

La coda non si muove, solo manualmente
Questo acquisto era un sogno da bambina.... io ero contentissima quando è arrivato il pacco con il mio orologio Kit cat clock. Purtroppo dopo qualche giorno ho notato che la coda non si muoveva. Ho letto il manuale per capire cosa non andava e fino adesso non so perché si muove solo se io lo faccio manualmente.Per me è stata una delusione

Yikes.
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.

Quirky and cool but on the cheap and flimsy side
The media could not be loaded. I was very excited to receive my clock, which arrived nicely packed in a smart little box. Upon opening it, I was surprised at how light and flimsy the construction is (given the price paid). The moving eye mechanism is very loose and flimsy in the back of the clock and the plastic edges around the outer casing (visible only at the back) are a little rough and unfinished. Nonetheless, when hung on a wall it works well and moves perfectly. Overall, I am happy with the look but would not consider buying another due to the less than ideal quality.

Hit and miss
We have had to re-order two of these clocks so far - the first arrived with missing gears, and the second arrived intact however with the wrong colour clock inside the box. Awaiting delivery of the third clock as they are cute, but service seems to be below par.

かわいいです。案外かんたんなつくりでした。うしろの蓋を閉めるのが少しコツがいります。目と尻尾が連動して動きますが手動です。でも一度揺らすと四時間くらい動いてます。見てるとなんか癒される。。。気に入ってます。
