Just have a groom of my very fluffy cat, and found this on his tummy area. Should I be worried?!

I had a friend once call me in a panic saying she was trying to remove a tick from her cat who was not cooperating.

I went over and she was desperately trying to tweeze what had become a very sore nipple.

Thank goodness you haven't gone that far 😛

Could we have a picture of the rest of him?Grin

Honestly, you've made my day. My favourite post in a while. Thank you 🐈

I thought the answer was going to be a paper plate…

I found one of these on my cat and panicked too OP 😂 apparently male cats can have an uneven number of nipples. So far I’ve counted four on my boy.

My girl had to have her tummy shaved. She seems quite proud!

I bet he's the first cat you've ever had, isn't he Grin

Inthesameboatatmo · 26/07/2022 18:21

It's a nipple op

WhoWants2Know · 26/07/2022 18:23

See if you can find the belly button!

This reminds me of my brother, many years ago aged about 17. We rescued a neutered MALE cat. DB swore blind it was female as it had nipples.

You beat me to it.

Daleksatemyshed · 26/07/2022 18:42

Thank you Op, you've made me laugh out loud. Please don't rummage too much, cat's tummies can be dangerous territory 😂😂

WombatStewForTea · 26/07/2022 18:44

Been there OP. Took my dog to the vet with a lump... It was his belly button 🤣

MarsupiIami · 26/07/2022 18:44

I love it when we get one of these threads 😂

Antarcticant · 26/07/2022 18:47

Ha ha! He should have 8 of those in total. I find only the tummy ones are easy to see (if your dcat will tolerate tummy tickles).

I did this with my cat. Vet was not successful in hiding his laughter 😂

ConstantlyBewildered · 26/07/2022 18:50

I feel suitably stupid! 😂
He is definitely male - been neutered so the vet has verified that! He’s definitely not the first cat I’ve had - but he is the first male cat, if that slightly excuses my muppetry…?

He is beautiful 😍love his little grump face.

HamSandwichKiller · 26/07/2022 18:57

I once asked a vet in a panicked voice what my cats nipple was. She was deeply unimpressed lol

IcakethereforeIam · 26/07/2022 18:57

Oh, he's beautiful. Thank you.

You are clearly some sort of cat whisperer. There is no way I can get that close to my make cat's tummy, I would have no arm left!!

I am surprised to learn that male cats have nipples too!

Isaidnoalready · 26/07/2022 19:03

My old cat had double nipples they were all evenly spaced till the bottom set and he had four instead of two its like they ran out of cat and had to shove
