(Cat) Nip and Wine

I thought “Nip and Wine” was a cute post title until it dawned on me what “nip” is short for. Since the only “nips” on this page are of the feline variety I added “(cat)” to the title to avoid any embarrassing mix-ups!

As the holidays approach you might be wondering what to get the cat lover in your life, or what to put on your holiday wish list. I’m here to help with just two words.

Catnip and wine.

Careers for your Cats, California Wine Clubs, Tickle Pickle

The only thing better than nip and wine? Nip and wine and KITTENS of course!

It’s a combination guaranteed to ingratiate visitors to the residents of my home (2 and 4-legged), and I suspect the home of any cat and wine lover on your holiday gift list.

This week the cats will review Tipsy Nip catnip products and I’ll review wine from California Wine Club. I HAVE CAT readers will receive discount codes and the chance to win free nip and wine! First up, the nip (goes off to refill wine glass).

Kip (aka the inspector) checks out the goods.

The folks at Tipsy Nip sent a generous sampling of their products for the cats to test drive. Personally, I like the fact that they’re a small independent business run from Vermont with competitive prices.

As you can see from the photo below, Kip couldn’t wait for me to get the Tickle Pickle out of the wrapping before attacking it. The folks at Tipsy Nip have a variety of products from “the pickle” stuffed with 100% organic catnip (no polly fillers) to wooden cat toy balls marinated in nip, and Tuna Sushi flakes (bonito tuna flakes, nori seaweed and nip).

Nom nom! Catnip flavored plastic!

From 11/28-12/12, I HAVE CAT readers get 20% off every Tipsy Nip purchase by using promo code IHC11 at check out! But wait, there’s more! Leave a comment to this post before 5pm EST 12/5 to be entered to win a Tickle Pickle for your very own kitty! So sorry but given issues with customs this is a US giveaway only. A winner will be chosen using random.org and announced by noon Tuesday 12/6.

I couldn’t resist including a few more pics of the cats enjoying their gifts. The video of Petie is hysterical. He cannot stop eating the catnip – it’s all over his face!
