Alarm Clocks: Amusing, Beautiful, Practical - and Furry
Alarm clocks are essential tools for many of us - so it's always fun to take a look around and see how many intriguing options are available. Want a robot? You can get one in blue, green, or red. Update on Aug. 11, 2012: You can find the latest version of the Tokibot clock at Perpetual Kid or TinToyArcade.com.
Want a gorgeous travel alarm clock? This limited edition Victorinox Swiss Army travel alarm isn't available until November 1 - but that will give you time to save up the $550 to buy it. [via Uncrate] Update on Aug. 11, 2012: This clock is now sold out.
And here's a much less expensive travel alarm, designed for ease of use: the Jetlag. (You can also get it in the U.S. from Unica Home.) [via Switched On Set and Apartment Therapy]
And finally, there's the ever-popular cat alarm clock. For more about the kitty "early morning wake up call" - and cute pictures - read the story by the San Francisco SPCA.

Ah yes, the kitty alarm. I know it well. Have two of them, actually. I prefer Jule's snuggling up with his loud purr, asking for a good rub down, to Sam's incessant high-pitched Mee - ow. But the only way to avoid his nagging is to get up before he decides it's time. (Zachy and Ochosi have not volunteered for the job.)
