See the New Jumbo and Huggers Cats vs. Pickles Toys!
If you haven’t heard of Cats vs. Pickles, let me introduce you to this adorable series and toy line!
The world of Cats vs. Pickles was inspired by the YouTube trend of watching funny videos of cats getting freaked by cucumbers.
Cats versus cucumbers is funny – but a company called CEPIA LLC decided to change it to Cats vs. Pickles and create YouTube short stories. The short stories feature silly Pickles characters creating complex yet doomed plans to get close to the Cats characters. When the cats find out, they freak out.

Learning eXpress, Clairs, HotTopic, (affiliate) Amazon, and other specialty stores.
The prices are around $5 for the mini plush pets. Though you can get two packs, four-packs, six-packs, and 12 packs at higher price points.

Cats vs. Pickles Plush Play
Kids can stack them, count them, toss them. Put them in a pocket as a special friend on an outing. They play well with other toys too. My kids play them alongside Barbie and Batman in the Dreamhouse and Batmobile.
So definitely check them out. The price point for the individual ones makes them great for Easter basket fillers, chore or report card rewards, or good behavior incentives! I think the only negative is – figuring out which one to get first!
