So, what do Pickles, Portland, and Cats have in common?

They can all celebrate International Pickle Day on May 16th with us! 🎉🥒🐱

At CatnipTakeout, we’re dill-lighted to celebrate International Pickle Day with our a-meow-zing pickle-themed cat toys! From our signature dumpling in a pickle flannel print to the green minky eggroll and the durable catnip-filled pickle, these toys are crafted to bring endless joy to your feline friend. 🥒✨🐱

Shop our pickle-themed toys MEOW and bring the purrfect playtime treat to your furry friend! 🥒🐾

And here's a pickle-tastic fact: Portland is a big dill in the pickle world! 🥒

🥒Pickleback Shots: Portland's vibrant bar scene often features the quirky drink known as a "pickleback," which is a shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice. This local favorite is celebrated in many of the city’s eclectic bars.

🥒Portland's Urban Farming: Portland's focus on urban farming means that many residents grow their own cucumbers and other vegetables, often leading to a DIY pickling culture. This emphasis on homegrown produce has made pickling a popular activity in many Portland households.

🥒Pickleball Popularity: While not directly related to the edible pickle, the sport of pickleball is hugely popular in Portland. The city boasts numerous courts and a vibrant community of players who enjoy this fast-growing sport.

🥒Portland’s Food Scene: Portland’s diverse food scene includes several restaurants and food trucks that incorporate pickles into their menus in creative ways, from pickle-topped burgers to pickle-infused craft cocktails. The city’s culinary creativity ensures that pickles are a beloved ingredient in many local dishes.

🥒The Portland Pickles are a beloved baseball team based in Portland, Oregon. Known for their fun and quirky branding, the team brings a playful spirit to the local sports scene. The team's mascot, Dillon the Pickle, adds to the entertainment, making games a family-friendly and uniquely Portland experience.

🌿📱 Have you ever received a text that almost brought a scent with it?

That's exactly what happened this morning when my hubby texted from home.

The latest shipment of catnip just arrived, and he swears he could smell the fresh catnip as soon as he walked down the stairs! Now, I'm over here in California visiting my folks, and I'm missing our little green oasis.

Isn’t it amazing how our senses can ignite memories and feelings, even from miles away?

Our toys are not just made to bring joy to your furry friends—they’re crafted to create connections and sprinkle a little more love into your day.

Whether you're near or far, our catnip toys might just be the most aromatic text you’ll receive today!

🌈Did you know that in Irish folklore, it's believed that cats can bring good luck to households?
🌈One example of Irish folklore involving cats and luck is the belief that if a cat washes its face and paws in front of a house on St. Patrick's Day, it's seen as a sign of good fortune for the occupants of that house for the coming year.🌈🍀
