'''Kat Nipp''' (not to be confused with the [[Harvey Comics]] character [[Katnip]]), his name a play on the word [[catnip]], is a villainous [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] cat. Kat Nipp is an often-drunk countryside tough guy who is a rival of [[Mickey Mouse]].

Nipp made his debut in the animated short ''[[The Opry House]]'' (1929), 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, with ''[[When the Cat's Away (1929 film)|When the Cat's Away]]'' and ''[[The Karnival Kid]]''. The latter film introduced Nipp's habit of physically abusing Mickey, here by stretching out Mickey's nose to a ridiculous length. Kat Nipp is often mistaken for [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]].

Kat Nipp reappeared in a 1931 sequence of the Mickey Mouse newspaper comic strip (in which his friend Barnacle Bill, a sailor who is an expert in untying knots, appears). Kat Nipp was also used in the strips produced in the United Kingdom for the Mickey Mouse Annual. The character quickly faded away and has made only a handful of comics appearances since the mid-1930s.

Kat Nipp appears in the video game ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' (2018), appearing in the minigame "The Karnival Kid" with his appearance from the short film of the same name, among the characters who order menus from [[Sora (Kingdom Hearts)|Sora]].
