We have been having strange weather here in the Midwest as I hear everyone else is. One week we woke up to five inches of snow on the ground and not two days later it was raining, then the next day the sun was out. We are taking full advantage of the nice days by walking the dog and taking my daughter to the park. We just try to stay busy, but the good news is spring is almost here! This year is leap year. This gives us an extra day this month which means instead of the usually 365 days a year we have 366. I think this is so great because it gives us an extra day to do something we might not otherwise do. The 29th falls on a Friday, and we have a friend whose birthday happens to be that day. He rarely gets to celebrate on his actually birthday so we are throwing a little party. I encourage all of you to take this extra time and spend it doing something fun. The next leap year isn’t until 2012.

We were all having fun outside on my back porch. I looked over and I noticed that my White Lady Kit-Cat was hanging on a tree outside. I couldn’t believe it. Who would do such a thing? It was like a record coming to a scratch at a party and the music stopped. Everyone has since learned not to mess with my Kit-Cat clocks! P.S. White Lady was okay and everyone at the party had a blast.     Fan Club- Click Here   Encouragement Chronicles I am so excited to discover your website...I have wanted one of these clocks for years... Lisa Taylorsville, GA JUST A NOTE TO TELL YOU THAT I AM STILL ENJOYING MY KIT-CAT CLOCK. I JUST TURNED SEVENTY-FIVE, AND MY GREAT GRANDCHILD VISITED ME FOR CHRISTMAS. SHE WAS AS ENTHRALED WITH THE CLOCK HANGING ON THE WALL AS WAS HER MOM BEFORE HER, AND MY OWN TODDLERS. I GUESS THAT TELLS YOU HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF YOUR KIT-CATS. THE MOMENT SHE ENTERS THE KITCHEN, HER EYES GO RIGHT TO THE WALL WHERE IT HANGS. LAURA EAST BRIDGEWATER, MA LOVE YOUR CLOCKS!! I’VE SEEN THESE FOR YEARS AND ALWAYS WANTED ONE. NOW, I CAN HAVE ONE! THANK YOU, AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY THESE DAYS! VINCENT Granada Hills, CA I was so excited to see this clock on sale because my mom's Kit-Cat clock had broken and I am happy to give her the 75th anniversary clock for her birthday. Amy Baltimore, MD I love your website. My clock was stopping but you had the easy answer. William I love these clocks. I have three of them and just looking at there little faces make my day. I even recorded my electric Kit-Cat on my cell phone and used it as my wall paper on the front of my phone. When I am having a bad day, that face is always there to brighten my worst day. Thank you for such a wonderful product! Josh Rochester, NY Thanks you guys are a life saver, someone snagged the tail off my daughters Kit-Cat on her Birthday, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to replace it. I got a call today from "Nick, From BIG KIDS in Van Nuys said you folks have the tails... Thanks so much!! P.S. Hope you sell a lot of clocks this year... Steven Simi Valley, CA My hubby loves his black and white 75th anniversary clock; this lovely pink lady is for my granddaughter. :^) Patricia Bremerton, WA Soon, this area will be filled with inspirational stories that will lift you up and move you to do the things you need to do to live a more fulfilling and fun filled life. But these won't be just any old stories. These will be your stories! Your story can be about yourself or someone else you know, or it can be one you read somewhere else that touched you in so many ways. As long as it is one of hope, encouragement and that will bring a smile to your heart it will be considered. So what's your incentive to submit your chronicle of encouragement? Tales of inspiration should always be shared. If your story can motivate just one person to take action then you have given something irreplaceable to others in the Kit-Cat Fan Club community. Please email your story of 1000 words or less, along with an optional short bio of yourself to: memories@kit-cat.com Your stories will be placed on the Kit-Cat website on the Fan Club page. www.kit-cat.com/fanclub     Kit-Cat MySpace Page Kit-Cat fans come join our new MySpace Page.
