Whether you simply love cats or know someone who does, a cat wall clock is a great gift, even if it's just to yourself.

A lot of people find a cat clock to be a great item to have in their home. That's due to both the popularity of cats and of course the look of the clock. Of course demand will influence supply and there is a huge supply of cat clocks on the market for you to choose from.

Finding the perfect cat wall clock is easy thanks to the tremendous amount of choices. Cheap and unattractive clocks are out there too, and that's the bad news to having so many choices. You want the recipient (or yourself) to be happy with whatever you get, so you need to know how to make a good choice. If you are in the market for a cat clock, consider these factors before making your purchase.

Naturally you want to consider the cost. Of course no matter what you buy this is an important consideration, but it's vital when cat wall clock shopping. The reasons are obvious. If you find one that is very cheap, it may mean you are getting something of inferior quality. An if it costs too much, you may be exceeding your budget. You certainly don't want to be the owner (or giver) of a piece of junk and you don't want to spend an arm and a leg either. Sure you should look at the pictures and read the descriptions, but don't stop there. Look carefully at the price tag as well.

Once you've checked out the price tag, see how the clock looks. Or more specifically, how the cat on the clock looks. Do you own a specific breed? If you are buying the clock for yourself this is something to look at. If the clock is a gift, it might be nice to match the cat to the recipient's favorite breed. Or perhaps you can find a clock that matches the "behavior" of the recipients cat.

The clock manufacturer also make a difference and that's the next thing you should consider. Don't just pull out your credit card because there's a cute kitty on the clock. An accurate time keeping device is important if you want to enjoy the clock. You may or may not get a clock that lasts or keeps good time if the guts are made by a mystery manufacturer that you've never heard of. If however the clock is made by someone whose name you recognize as a time piece manufacturer, odds are you'll get better quality. Whe making your choice between two cat clocks, it's best to defer to the brand you recognize.

The size of the clock is the final thing you should consider. If you are looking for an accent item, it's easy to find a smaller cat wall clock. On the other hand there are plenty of huge clocks available. Some big enough to be the focal point of any wall in a room. Find the size that meets your needs and works well in your available space if the clock is for your home. And you want to match the decor of someone else's house if you are buying the clock for another person. Always pick a smaller clock if you're not sure of the available space. The smaller models will be much easier to place.

There are cat clocks available in a lot of different looks, varying degrees of quality, and from many different sources. Before you pull out your purse think about the appearance, the quality, the size, and of course, the price.
