Nibbles (also known as Tuffy) is a fictional character from the Tom and Jerry cartoon series. He is the little, grey, nappy-wearing orphan mouse whose cartoon debut came in the 1946 short The Milky Waif. Nibbles was later featured in the 1949 Academy Award-winning short The Little Orphan.

The character's first actual appearance came in the 1942 comic book Our Gang Comics #1, where despite his nappy, he was presented as a peer of Jerry rather than a younger individual. In the comics, the grey mouse's name was given as Tuffy Mouse from the start.

When the smaller Nibbles design was introduced to animation in 1946, the comics' Tuffy was retcon to match, almost immediately shrinking in size and age, although the name Tuffy was retained. In the comics, Tuffy remained a peer of Jerry with no familial relationship to him. But in 1953, the animation writers decided to change his on-screen relationship to Jerry. He became Jerry's nephew in Life with Tom.

Now it was the cartoons' turn to retcon, changing the screen name Nibbles to Tuffy in the 1957 cartoon Feedin' The Kiddie. The character was thus named Tuffy in all English-language media from 1957 through the 1980s.

Nibbles Mouse has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
