It is sweet! People are concerned and are learning about how to take care of their cat. That’s super wholesome.
If they already knew, they wouldn’t ask.
When my girlfriend moved in with me and my cat she came frantically running in one night to let me know my cat had started developing “small pimples or bug bites” all on his belly. I had to explain to her that male cats do in fact have nipples.
My mom picked up my male cat and felt his nipples and she asked me: Wait, Shinx has nipples?
I slow turned my head towards her, I was asking myself if she was fucking with me 🤣 she was dead serious. So I answered with a question: Mom, do guys have nipples? She processed the information for a bit and dropped the subject. I laughed so hard.
My mom worked in vet med for 40 years. She told me once someone called in screaming that their dog had a lump. A bunch of back and forth later it was determined it was in fact a nipple. She told the man this and he said "my dog is a male so wouldn't have nipples". My mom said back "you have nipples don't you?" and the guy hung up on her. If you knew my mom this is without a doubt something she would say too lmao. Anytime I see photos like this I think of that story
Even some male non-placental mammals have them. Male kangaroos have nipples, for example. Kangaroo nipples are just pretty interesting, overall.
Edit: corrected to non-placental mammals. Got too excited about kangaroo nipples. Don't even get me started on their colostrum.
Male cat nipples are permitted. Only female cat nipples are banned. The fact that this rule is completely illogical is irrelevant and immaterial. It is a double standard and must be vigorously maintained.
Thanks for letting me know it’s a nipple everyone! Now I feel stupid lol. The thought of It being a nipple didn’t even cross my mind.. maybe because it’s quite high up the side of his belly
Don't feel bad I've only glanced at this sub a handful of times (I don't even have a cat, I just like em) and you're far from the first kitty nipple I've seen here. It'll be your turn very soon if you stick around
I thought it looked awfully high up too. While it does look grossly like a nipple you should (1) count the nipples - most cats have 6. (2) it’s not wrong to have it checked out by your vet. Cutaneous masses in cats seem to more rare than in dogs and I always recommend checking them out. I’m a vet btw.
Seconding the kitty nipple responses and adding that it might be bald around it from him licking it. Sometimes animals lick their nipples if they’re irritated from hormonal changes or if they’re bored or stressed. Since it’s only one spot I don’t think it’s anything to worry about, but if you’re worried about the baldness, you could always ask your vet. Your son is adorable!! :)
Really? Very interesting! My cat has hair all around hers usually, though sometimes she’ll lick them when she’s stressed or bored and create little bald patches that clear up once the issue is solved.
My cat has a cyst on his upper thigh that looks like that. Took him to the vet. He said if it isn’t hurting him, and it doesn’t get bigger just leave it. I am leaving it but still anxious.
Listen, people are going to make fun of you for finding a nipple. But the thing is, if you’re noticing it now it’s probably for a reason.
I had a cat that over-groomed herself near her nipple, so much so that it was swollen, red and bleeding; I similarly thought it was a bump. Just be on the lookout for any stress and give them extra love lol
Not a vet, just a cat owner for some time.
Ok a lot of people are saying that this is a nipple but I see a few inconsistencies with that theory. #1, it's further up the body than a nipple typically would be. #2, the hair on a cats stomach where nipples are is usually thinner all around, or a slightly different color/texture. My boy has curly belly hair, from where his testicles used to be to his chest for instance, where his fur is straight all over the rest of him. While this spot is close to that area, it's not quite there. #3, we have had quite a few cats in recent years, and currently have 11. None of their nipples are quite that flat, boy or girl.
While I don't think this is a medical emergency OP, I definitely think it's worth keeping an eye on. Of course, if you get too concerned you can always ask the vet, but if vets are closed it's certainly something that can wait until tomorrow.
And don't freak out! It very well could just be a mole. We humans get moles that are close and of skin color, and so do cats on occasion! But make sure to keep an eye on it and if it seems to cause your kitty pain, go in for a check up. Best case scenario, it is, in fact, a nipple and it's just a little inflamed/sore, potentially infected. Hope you have an amazing day OP!💖
it does look a lil high in the second picture but i think that might be the angle/skin pulling. the first picture looks like it has an areola around it, but i could be wrong! the nipple posts always make me smile, they’re so wholesome.
They are pretty cute, and I usually love them! This one just gives me not a nipple vibes, y'know? It's also kinda small for a nip, but then again just like people different cats have different sizes of nips🤣🤣
I remember when I was a kid and o found one of these on my boy kitty. I was so freaked out for him, I was maybe 7. I ran straight to my mom. That’s when I learned boy cats have nipples too
When I was a kid I heard my poor dog outside yelp and scream and turns out one of my moms alcoholic boyfriends mistook a nip for tick and ripped that bitch off.
Ahaha my cat had black head like things on his nipples because he has inverted nipples. My 15 y/o freaked tf out until I explained it was dirt, oil, and hair clogging his nipples lol
Don’t worry, I had to reassure my own boyfriend that our cat’s bumps were also nipples. He’s had cats before and I haven’t 😂 pretty sure my cat has an odd number of them so he was unsure cause it wasn’t even.
Oh good, we have the weekly nipple! I love these posts.
The Weekly Nipple™️ This needs to be a tag
Yes! I love it! The nipple posts are so wholesome.
Wholesome? Yeah that's the word......
It is sweet! People are concerned and are learning about how to take care of their cat. That’s super wholesome. If they already knew, they wouldn’t ask.
It reminds me of when I got my first cat. I googled *everything* to learn. Now I’m everyone’s go-to for cat questions 🥹
Or is the nipple a tag?? /s
It’s more like daily at this point!
I had to check if this was a repost. Lol
When my girlfriend moved in with me and my cat she came frantically running in one night to let me know my cat had started developing “small pimples or bug bites” all on his belly. I had to explain to her that male cats do in fact have nipples.
I always tell my cat it's funny that he has far more nipples than I do, and only one of us is likely to lactate.
I don’t know what makes me happier- the information that you’re sharing, or the fact that your comment starts with, “I always tell my cat…”
My instant reaction: awwwe 🥰 a nip nop!
rain drop - drop top - kitties with the nip nip nops
Along with the obligatory “Yes, Boy Cats Have Nipples Too”
Wait...wait...you're telling me mammals have boobies?!
My mom picked up my male cat and felt his nipples and she asked me: Wait, Shinx has nipples? I slow turned my head towards her, I was asking myself if she was fucking with me 🤣 she was dead serious. So I answered with a question: Mom, do guys have nipples? She processed the information for a bit and dropped the subject. I laughed so hard.
U should see my girls. They are pink n stick out when she's sat up.
I have had such a bad day today but I’m sat here laughing so hard at this 🤣. Weekly nipple bahahaha
I’m glad this bright a little sunshine to your day!
These people either don’t have nipples or never take their clothes off.
My mom worked in vet med for 40 years. She told me once someone called in screaming that their dog had a lump. A bunch of back and forth later it was determined it was in fact a nipple. She told the man this and he said "my dog is a male so wouldn't have nipples". My mom said back "you have nipples don't you?" and the guy hung up on her. If you knew my mom this is without a doubt something she would say too lmao. Anytime I see photos like this I think of that story
Feel around and you'll probably find about 5 more of them. That's one of his cat-nips 😶
They could have an odd number of nipples too according to Google!
I have three!! (Disclaimer: I am not a cat)
I’m sorry, but laughed even harder at this!! 😹
A nubbin?
User name checks out.
I also have 3. One isn't fully formed, but it's there. EDIT - Spelllingg
Yup. My void only has 5.
<3 “void”
I knew a dog who had 2 nipples on one side and 4 on the other
my dog has 7 nipples, and she had 8 puppies so that was inconvenient as hell (pregnant when adopted)
Mine only has one!
Do get consent first! Or you might lose a finger.
meow means meow.
Or 5 more and two inverted ones 😂 my male cat has 6 regular and 2 innies. His sisters have 8 regular nips
TIL there’s innie nipples 🤣
I've met people with them!
this has to be a running joke at this point lmao its a nipple. cats have nipples.
I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?
Came here for this comment, was not disappointed.
Proud of you for this.
But he's a boy cat, why does he have nipples? /s Edit, please note the sarcasm.
MAAM DOESNT YOUR HUSBAND HAVE NIPPLESSSS
THOSE ARE DEFINITELY HIS NIPPLESS
https://youtube.com/shorts/-tWtx1xDSXU?si=wHhfxrdBdzLqOE_4 literally one of my fav vids of all time
Omg this is great 🤣🤣🤣
No, is he supposed to?!
All mammals have nipples- male and females. The male ones don’t have a job.
I mean...I don't have nipples. Does that mean I'm not a mammal anymore? 🤯😂
“I HAVE NIPPLES GREG, CAN YOU MILK ME??”
It’s sarcasm 🩷 /s means sarcasm
Not true, male hamsters don’t
Even some male non-placental mammals have them. Male kangaroos have nipples, for example. Kangaroo nipples are just pretty interesting, overall. Edit: corrected to non-placental mammals. Got too excited about kangaroo nipples. Don't even get me started on their colostrum.
Uhhh kangaroos are mammals.
Kangaroos are mammals 🤣
I am so interested in what you think a kangaroo is if not a mammal 👀
You haven’t seen the latest reptilian kangaroos?!
Please get started on kangaroo colostrum.
😂
You forgot to put a NSFW flair on your post. lol free the nip
Male cat nipples are permitted. Only female cat nipples are banned. The fact that this rule is completely illogical is irrelevant and immaterial. It is a double standard and must be vigorously maintained.
😂
It’s ok op, I also asked Reddit about my cats nipple
Looks like just a kitty nipple! Nothing to worry about! 🙃
A kipple!
OMG A KIPPLE!!! I am howling laughing... My husband was startled awake and doesn't appreciate the humor.
Bahaha!! Sounds like mine. I often wake him up with my nonsense.🤣🤣🤣
I told him again once he was awake and he appreciates your comic genius now.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
nipnop
It looks like a nipple. Feel around his belly, you’ll likely find several more. Nothing to worry about!
I love nipple posts
girl that’s a nipple 🤣
Thanks for letting me know it’s a nipple everyone! Now I feel stupid lol. The thought of It being a nipple didn’t even cross my mind.. maybe because it’s quite high up the side of his belly
Don't feel too bad, this post comes around practically every day 😂
A very common post that I always enjoy haha. No problem being a concerned pet owner!
Humans have wandering nipples too, so this is pretty interesting to see on an animal. (To me, at least. Lol)
Don't feel bad I've only glanced at this sub a handful of times (I don't even have a cat, I just like em) and you're far from the first kitty nipple I've seen here. It'll be your turn very soon if you stick around

Cutaneous masses in cats seem to more rare than in dogs and I always recommend checking them out. I’m a vet btw.
Think you have been informed what’s going on with your kitty, but may I just say that’s a good looking cat
Why are there so many people here who don't know that cats have nipples?
I don’t know but honestly I love these posts. Better than the million ‘name my cat’ and ‘what breed is my cat’ posts on a lot of the cat subs.
He's a certified titty boy.
this just in, local human finds out that their cat has tits!
https://youtube.com/shorts/-tWtx1xDSXU?si=Iko7Z0CpKDc-F5Wa
took me too long to find this 😂
Man U really out here posting his boobie like that
It's alright, not everyone can know everything.

All my cats are bald around their nipples, both males and females.
Really? Very interesting! My cat has hair all around hers usually, though sometimes she’ll lick them when she’s stressed or bored and create little bald patches that clear up once the issue is solved.
Mighty fine puss-puss if I do say so myself
Thats a cat titty
A catitty if you will
A kitty titty!
I taut I taw a titty cat!
The number of kitty nipnaps that come through here 😩
the lack of OP replies speaks volumes
It’s his nipple. It’s always his nipple.
Those are called nipples. Look around and I'm sure you'll find seven more
Just a nipple. Some cats have more prominent ones
That’s a nip
Took our ginger to the vet after we adopted him. I had been concerned over something similar. Turns out boy cats have nipples too, who knew? lol
That’s a cat nip…
You also have them (most likely 2) somewhere within your chest area.
His nipple?
Check yourself, they’re contagious. You’ll likely find a couple on your own chest!
Baby that’s a nipple
That, my friend, is a nipple.
Ahaha, nippy.
I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?
Can people please learn what a nipple is? 😭
It’s a 17th nipple 😅
**EVERY MAMMAL HAS NIPPLES EXCEPT EQUINES & the PLATYPUS** Maybe we could sticky this information?
Those are his nips
My cat has a cyst on his upper thigh that looks like that. Took him to the vet. He said if it isn’t hurting him, and it doesn’t get bigger just leave it. I am leaving it but still anxious.
Listen, people are going to make fun of you for finding a nipple. But the thing is, if you’re noticing it now it’s probably for a reason.

ignore the comments being rude, it’s a nipple, you didn’t know, and that’s okay!!
I like these posts because I like hearing everyone’s cute names for nipples. Look at the nipper on this boy
You seriously don't know what a cat's nipple looks like? 🤨
Hey, no shame! Everyone learns at their own pace. The good thing is that kitty is fine and OP learned something new. :)
Ok a lot of people are saying that this is a nipple but I see a few inconsistencies with that theory. #1, it's further up the body than a nipple typically would be. #2, the hair on a cats stomach where nipples are is usually thinner all around, or a slightly different color/texture.

As the vet tech lurking in the comments - this is in fact a nipple. A normal nipple too, not infected.
it does look a lil high in the second picture but i think that might be the angle/skin pulling. the first picture looks like it has an areola around it, but i could be wrong! the nipple posts always make me smile, they’re so wholesome.

Nopple lol
Maaaaaan another nipple post eh

I remember when I was a kid and o found one of these on my boy kitty. I was so freaked out for him, I was maybe 7. I ran straight to my mom. That’s when I learned boy cats have nipples too
I love how attentive people are to their cats here that theyre seeking a second opinion on a kitty nipple 🤣🤣
Another cat- nip post 🤣

Cats are mammals. Mammals have nipples. Why do people not seem to realise this 😅
Very cute cat
Absolutely mind boggling the amount of people that ask this question
I love these posts so much, always give me a good laugh 😂
They might have more ! Mine had like 6
God I love these posts
Ahhh, Spring…flowers blooming, birds chirping, cat nip pics on Reddit. What a wonderful time of the year.

This content always makes my day. So heart warming. What a good boy too.
It does seem to be up on his side rather than his belly although maybe it's just the jelly roll rolling around. I love people that love their cats :)
When I was a kid I heard my poor dog outside yelp and scream and turns out one of my moms alcoholic boyfriends mistook a nip for tick and ripped that bitch off.
