Kat Nipp

Bully who likes to tie knots on Mickey Mouse's tail

Kat Nipp, whose name is a play on the word "catnip", is a antagonistic anthropomorphic cat. Kat Nipp is an often-drunk countryside tough guy who is a rival of Mickey Mouse. He is similar to Pete. Nipp made his debut in the 1929 animated short The Opry House, in which he posed as a snake for a snake-charming act—continuing to smoke his pipe all the while. Nipp's other two appearances in animation also came in 1929, in When the Cat's Away, he played a woodsman whom left his house on a hunt leading mice to play around in his house.
