We just had the opportunity to test a fun line of kitty products from Vermont-based Tipsy Nip, and they were a huge hit! Tipsy Nip makes a variety of catnip treats and toys that are all durable and non-toxic, plus the kitties love them! Their signature toy is the Tickle Pickle, which comes in the regular 6 inch size, the XL 11 inch size, and for extra interactive fun, check out the Flying Tickle Pickle.
Here are some pix of Ando, Simba and MacKenzie enjoying their Tickle Pickle.
Some of the other fun treats they offer are Tuna Sushi, a yummy snack made with Bonito tuna flakes, Nori seaweed and Tipsy Nip. You can get a big jar of Tipsy Nip all by itself, or try the Tipsy Nip Ball, a non-toxic wooden ball toy infused with organic catnip and soaking in a tin of Tipsy Nip. The Tipsy Nip Balls also come with fun tickle tassels.
All of the Tipsy Nip products come in the cutest packaging and would make great gifts! You can follow Tipsy Nip on Facebook to stay up-to-date on their latest products.

I think my cats would go crazy for the Tipsy Nip Ball….shoot…for all of the products.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:44 pm
It would have to be the flying tickle pickle of course!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:45 pm
My kitties would absolutely love the Flying Pickle!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:45 pm
definitely need me a tickle pickle!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:46 pm
This is amazing!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:47 pm
My cats would probably love the Tipsy Nip Ball, but they’d love anything with catnip. All the products look great.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:48 pm
My little ones love anything with catnip. However, i think they would like the nubs and the pickle a lot.
The nubs would be easier to eat than the catnip…and not make such a mess…and the pickle they could grab hold and kick with their back legs (the one they currently use is much smaller) but they do love it just the same.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:48 pm
My cats would absolutely go crazy over the tipsy pickle! I know they would love all of the products. But the pickle is the shape of alot of their favorite toys. I like that the products are organic.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:48 pm
I have 3 kitties, but my little black kitty named Speedo is my acrobat! He is younger than my other two kitties and has no fear of heights, tight spaces, or “impossible missions” chasing mice outback. Speedo would be encouraged to stabilize his routine a bit by enjoying the Tickle Pickle, I’m sure. The bonus of organic catnip would reward him for his new constructive play. Thank you!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:49 pm
ooh, tough call… i guess it would be between the flying pickle one and the tipsy nip ball, though she’d be all over those treats, too. i think she would love everything on the products page!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:49 pm
My kitties would love everything, but I guess it’s up to me so I would say the Organic Tipsy Nip, that way I could sprinkle it on their scratcher
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Neko would be all about the tickle pickle! She loves fishing toys anyway and I know this would be a great “pouncer”!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:51 pm
I think the boys would love to play with the tickle pickle and the tickle tassle.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:51 pm
My 9-yr old orange tabby, Auto, would just love getting pickled with the Tipsy Nip Tickle Pickle (he is of age)! But I know that if he was let loose in the Tipsy Nip warehouse, he would be like a kid in a candy store and would want everything! (And probably get nabbed for disorderly conduct..):)
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:52 pm
my cats would love the flying tickle pickle! that is one cute and funny toy
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:52 pm
As long as there’s cat nip involved count my cats in, they are addicts! Not sure the tipsy pickle won’t scare them but would be fun for all to find out.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:53 pm
I think my cats seem to like the the cylindrical shapes so the tipsy pickle would probably be the biggest hit. Of course, catnip is always a big hit!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:55 pm
My cat Otis will literally climb up the walls to get to a toy once he smells catnip on it!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:56 pm
I think the tickle pickle would be Leroy’s favorite AND the flying tickle pickle would be Ms. Bubbie’s favorite. All products look great! And organic too…..lovely.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:57 pm
I think my cats would love the flying pickle.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:57 pm
The tipsy nip ball would be the favorite in my house. Though I would guess my downstairs neighbor might not be as much of a fan with all the excited cat running around!
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:58 pm
fun!!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Silvie, my special cat that needs more things to chase (because she doesn’t like to move very much) would sure love that flying pickle! At this point she likes to sit and swat at toys on strings. Eventually we hope to get her playing with toys that require her to run around…
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:00 pm
They would love the Tickle Pickle for sure! Of course all of it looks delish, they said!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:03 pm
Something for everyone! Chloe would love the tipsy nip ball, but Carter is more of a tipsy pickle kind of guy. I’ve put ordering some of these products on my to-do list!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:05 pm
Love the flying tickle pickle. So unique and it won’t roll under the sofa!

August 3rd, 2011 at 2:14 pm
I can see the Tickle Pickle being a big hit around here. I wonder if they would carry the 11″ one around the house?
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
XL Tickle Pickle!!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Hard to choose, seems they hit the jackpot when making treats and toys for cats. I know my cat would just love the Tickle Pickle, the best. Right now she just playing with an old sock filled with catnip.
She also would probably enjoy the flying tickle pickle and a few of the Tipsy nip balls.
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:17 pm
They all look great and I love that they are made in Vermont! I think the best one is the tipsy nip ball, my cat would go crazy for that!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Fun stuff! My cat would love the flying tickle pickle. She loves things on strings.
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
my boys would love the tickle pickle i’m sure
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
The pickle would be the favorite by far. My cats love playing with us more than anything!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:20 pm
I think my cats would love the Tickle Pickle. They love to wrestle with their toys and carry them around in their mouths.
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:22 pm
That Flying Tickle Pickle would be great for my cat!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:26 pm
The Tickle Tassle Ball rocks my socks!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:26 pm
I really think my guys would enjoy the Flying TicklePickle the most, but would probably be very into any of their great products!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Ha! My cats would love anything brushed up against that nip!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:28 pm
What cute kitty products!! I know my cats would have a ball with these! The Tickle Pickle would surely be a hit around here as would all their products!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:28 pm
The tickle pickle looks adorable! And I love their cat pics on the site- too cute.
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Since I have 3 cats with such 3 different personalities , I would have to all of the cool toys there lol to please all three of them! lol
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:32 pm
My kitties would probably like the tipsy nip ball the best, but they all look like kitty fun!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:35 pm
I think my cats would like the tickle tassel best. They’d also like the tickle pickle since they could play with it on their own.
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:38 pm
The Flying Tickle Pickle would be just the thing for my fearsome(so he thinks) hunter!
August 3rd, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Oh the Tipsy Nip Nubs would really come in handy! Our neighbor is moving and cannot take Fred and Ginger- both sweet kitties. Not sure how they’ll adjust with my cat, Emily. Having some extra treats for my feline trio would help alot.
