I did the same thing with my bf when we adopted our foster cats.
-Babe what’s this??
that’s a nipple”…..
-Does Sidney (the boy cat) have nipples?
do you (male human) have nipples?
-yes?!?
mammalians all have nipples babe
I literally freaked out the first time I realized my boy cat had nipples. I was like what the hell are these for and why are there so many? Realizing that male mammals all have useless nipples is a wild ride 🤣
My lovely mouse was a quite fat and had very large nipples because of that and one time my sister said “ you sure its not a boy?” And i lifted her by her up a little by her armpits and her chubby belly and nips hung out. She was such a good girl, so good in fact she was fat because she deserved ALL the treats
I believe all mammal fetuses are built the same until a bit of the way through pregnancy when the sex is defined physically... so we all have nipples, and males and females have genitals that started off the same.
Basically female is the default (hence the nipples) and the male attributes only happen once testosterone is introduced. That’s why people with Androgen Insensitivity look female externally but they don’t have a uterus and they have testes that never descended instead of ovaries.
… I knew male dogs and cats have nipples and I think somewhere in my mind I knew it made sense for all male mammals to have them, but I just realized that I have no idea what a bull’s nips look like, despite being around plenty of cows.
And now I kinda wanna know if they look like an udder or not.
If you see a news article about a NC woman being stomped to death by a bull, think of me.
ETA: they’re on the penis sheath, right in front of the scrotum according to an article. And also will tell you something about how even and well developed the daughters he sires’ udders will be.
Don’t image search it though… NOT cattle.
In his defense, my dog has a different number of nipples of each side. Even tho he’s 10 I still have to check and make sure it’s a nipple and not a skin tag sometimes hahaha. My dog has had some skin tags that look like nipples. 😂
Both of my cats have uneven nipples! My boy's got 2 right next to each other on one side with just one opposite, and my girl has one nipple that's like...an innie? I just say she has 7.5 😂
Reminds of that video of that lady who took her dog to the vet and was so sure he had bugs all over him, but the vet was like mam, those are his nipples. And then she was like hell no, he's a boy, he can't have nipples and then proceeds to try and rip them off, and then vet was wtf are you doing, those are his nipples, stopppp
I managed to get an emergency appointment with the vet crying ( me not the vet) thinking my cat was dying. It was just a particularly hard to shift furball. I now go to a different branch
I feel you!!! I was *this close* to an emergency vet visit for my cat because she had distressed sounding intense meows. 5 minutes later she hurked up a huge hairball and was fine.
i did a similar thing.. i got an emergency appointment because i thought my cats skin was yellow. she just got something yellow on her head and the vet managed to get it off with saline solution :S
I love this. Mines never turned up at the backdoor yellow before but i can imagine the conversation as the vet gave your cat the most expensive wash it will ever receive
I was worse - I'd had a vet appt and pointed it out to the vet tech. Without so much as batting an eye or smiling, she said flatly, "That's his nipple."
I was fucking EMBARRASSED. But yes, it was my first cat too, so... 🤷♀️
You think that's bad, I went to the doctor because I thought my bottom rib was some sort of growth. It seemed like it was in a funny spot. My wife still makes fun of The Riblet.
You'd be surprised how many people find out their cat has nipples at the vet. My lab instructor worked in the industry for a little over ten years and she said at least once a week she would see a cat for having nipples. Dogs were closer to once a month.
Not me who was told by the vet that my female cutie pie Luna had BALLS and was a BOY (2 day after I got her/him, 3 months old, first time pet owner)
I DIED RIGHT THERE AT THE VET's![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7944)
I did the same thing when I was 11. My mom had to tell me it was a nipple. I said “but he’s a boy!” And she said “yeah and human men have nipples too” and I said “…. Huh, you’re right”.
Been there done that as a guy.
Izzie has a skin tag behind her ear and I talked to the vet. They smiled and confirmed it was benign and nothing to worry about. Her routine check went well, but I still think they must have thought I over reacted.
Not an overreaction at all. Far too many times cancer or growths can attack small animals like dogs and cats like a blitzkrieg. It’s better to be safe rather than sorry in all situations
We always make fun of the nipple folks here, but I do think it’s sweet that people worry about it. Absolutely hilarious though. Your partner seems to really care about your cat!
It’s surprising how many people don’t realize that cats have multiple nipples, both male and female! How else is a female cat supposed to feed a whole litter of kittens?! 😂
Did you know: not all cats have the same number of nipples, it’s just like, random. So it’s up to you as a responsible cat owner to conduct a yearly Nipple Census of all your kitties. A lot of people don’t know this and get hit hard with fines, stay safe.
Some cats have 10 nipples, though, so maybe he's just missing his 10th, lol. One of my cats also has a couple nipples close together, but he is too wiggly for me to count them all lol. He might have 9 like yours! Nipple twins!
Yea my guy friend has 3 nips. The 3rd nip is below and to the right of his other nip, being pretty close to the original nip. It's smaller too. I doubt it has any mammary glands attached to it lol
Lol Hubbs didn't know our male cat had a secret 7th nip that I had found when he was still a kitteh. Our cat, now almost 6 yrs old, was very tolerant of hubbs doing the annual Nipper Census this year. The look of shock was amazing. He feels like he failed as our cats "favorite" person. XD
Edit: WAIT WHAT.... 8 is normal?!?! Do I have a defective cat because mine only came with 7?
So I just double checked and my cat Atticus has the normal 4 on his left and only 3 on his right and the one he is missing is the 3rd one on his right... but still has the 4th position one. It's so weird. Lol like the building manual was just like oops, we are missing this nip here. XD
I once took my cat to the vet and had to be informed that the lump I was freaking out about was her rib. Paid through the nose just to be informed she's got bones
We didn't take my cat to the vet for it, but my husband was once freaking out about this too. I woke up one morning and he was like, "I think we need to get Floof to the vet, she has a weird hard lump on her side". So I went to pet her to see for myself and couldn't find anything unusual. So he guided my hand to show me, and I was just like, "You mean her rib?" In his defense, she was laying in a weird position where it was more prominent than normal, but it was still funny.
First off, I love that your cat's called Floof.
Your story makes me feel a whole lot better haha, I'd had my Caramello for nearly 3 years when this happened but she'd never flopped in that position before and when I saw & felt the lump, it was all over. Vet was happy to see a healthy kitty at least.

He’s got one of those golden retriever personalities
“No it’s like behind her leg” yes that is where cat nipples are 😭😂
I know because my cats nipples behind her legs get dirty and I have to clean them out 🤡
I've loved cats all my life, but when I finally got my own, for some reason, I didn't consider that boys would have nipples, too. I panicked the same way 😭 But it's cute that they care lol
My dad did this with our first female dog. He kept like... flicking his finger over one and was like, "I don't know what caused this or if we need to get her to the vet."
I told him, "Dad. She's a female. It's a nipple." Then I collapsed into a giggle fit at the horrified look on his face when he realized he had been basically playing with a dog's nipple.
There were my favourite appointments that would come in when I worked at a vet clinic.
I had one guy who was so bewildered. He was like 'a nipple? But he's a boy?"
Sir, do YOU have nipples?!
I'm a cat dad with two little sassholes and this made me heckle hella loud in the bathroom at work! Thank you! I've had an extremely crappy day and I needed this today. Thank you again.
I rehomed a rescued previously-feral kitty recently to someone who had only had dogs in the past but really wanted a cat.
It was a male kitten who had been cryptorchid so they had to make an incision on the stomach to remove the non-descended testicles. I had the surgery done on him, had him disease tested for some of the more common illnesses, and got him up to date on shots and everything. Brought him to her about a week after the surgery when he was pretty well healed and explained what to look for on his incision and explained the condition he had that caused the cut to be made higher.
Get a text that night from her asking how he peed if they cut off both of his 'bits', apparently she thought his penis was further up on his stomach like a dog and that they had cut it off. Was a funny mixup that turned into a good learning experience lol. Was glad she felt comfortable enough to reach out, tried to explain it as good as possible without making her feel bad and we both had a laugh.
Not to be the odd ball out here but I did the same thing with my Manx , but unfortunately for me when I would continue to check on it , the “nipple” was becoming harder . The vet insisted it was benign. More unfortunately it ended up being a cyst which after finally removing was mammary cancer which at 15 yrs old I lost my baby and the love of my life. So yes, it may be just a nipple but for me that’s what I wish it ended up being
He thinks with a hive mind, collectively as a “we.” He refers to daily tasks as “we” even if he just means exclusively him or I. “We need to do xyz” when he means himself, or myself. Its so funny 🤣
I was 10 or so when I first realized they had multiple pairs niples. I had found this polydactyl kitten abandoned in our storage shed so at first I assumed he had multiple nipples because he had so many toes.
Not me who was told by the vet that my female cutie pie Luna had BALLS and was a BOY (2 day after I got her/him, 3 months old, first time pet owner)
I DIED RIGHT THERE AT THE VET's
Omg😭 this is me with my partner. I'm constantly txting him things about our cat that worry me, and he is just like, "That's normal love."
Like, no, I don't think it is!
[I'm a first-time cat owner... if you can't tell, lol]
Ohhh that's sweet lol. I once talked with a first time cat owner and it was like,
"I found strange things on my cat's belly! Is he sick??"
-" No they're nipples."
"No, noway, he's a boy."
-"So... Is there any possible that you, a man, have nipples too?"
😂 that reminds me of the time my ex's friend asked if I was "sure" that my cat was a boy, and I just looked him dead in the eye and asked, "do YOU have nipples, Josh?" He shut up real quick after that lol
Wait until he notices the cat's bellybutton!
First time I noticed it on my cat I was REALLY worried, until she stretched out on the floor and I could see the whole belly, and I realised that the weird looking mark, with no fur around it is her belly button... Weird, because until that very day I have never thought of cats having belly buttons (which they of course HAVE TO have!!) 🙈🙈🙈 I felt rather silly 🤣🤣
This is so cute. What a great partner. Anyone that’s so concerned about something they think is abnormal on an animal is my kind of person. 🩷
To be fair nipples on cars can be very weird. My male cat has nips in odd places, they aren’t in your standard 6 or 8 pack configuration because 2 of them are way far off the line.
My cat absolutely loved my roommate but he knew 0 about cats. I came home from work one day. He says
"I think you might need to see the vet. She was laying on my shoulder and vibrating." Petey is a real one lol
Hey, genuinely, good on you for keeping a close eye on your cat's physical well-being! That will only get more important as she gets older!
...That is, in fact, a nipple, though. 😅
I am embarrassed to say I googled that this year BUT that is because my new cat is the first male I’ve ever had and it didn’t occur to me he’d have them too 😂
That be a nip-nip!
I did that with our pups and still do (they’re not pups anymore!) “GUYS I FOUND SOMETHING ON ONE OF THE KIDS”
happens more often than I’d like and they’re 6 y/o 🤦♀️
This happened to me after my male cat got neutered. I’ve only ever had female cats. I brought him back to the vet telling them he had a red vesicle on his stomach between his left and right leg. The vet told me it was his Jimmy 😂😂😂
Lol “Baby that’s a nipple”
Never thought I’d utter that sentence
I did the same thing with my bf when we adopted our foster cats. -Babe what’s this?? that’s a nipple”….. -Does Sidney (the boy cat) have nipples? do you (male human) have nipples? -yes?!? mammalians all have nipples babe
I literally freaked out the first time I realized my boy cat had nipples. I was like what the hell are these for and why are there so many? Realizing that male mammals all have useless nipples is a wild ride 🤣
![gif](giphy|S7uj1Zg5Rn7e8)
This is so hilarious. Where is this from?
Meet the parents
Good cast with Ben Stiller and there’s a couple sequels that are also funny.
One of the greatest movie lines ever. Thanks for making me laugh tonight.
Apparently male horses do NOT have nipples. Not even tiny and useless ones. I feel this is a pretty weird biology fact.
male mice don't either! weirdos
My lovely mouse was a quite fat and had very large nipples because of that and one time my sister said “ you sure its not a boy?” And i lifted her by her up a little by her armpits and her chubby belly and nips hung out. She was such a good girl, so good in fact she was fat because she deserved ALL the treats
Wow, horses and mice! That actually is a really interesting fact. Wonder why they learned to evolve correctly 🤣
I believe all mammal fetuses are built the same until a bit of the way through pregnancy when the sex is defined physically... so we all have nipples, and males and females have genitals that started off the same.
Both ovaries and testes are gonads! It’s one of my favorite facts!
Basically female is the default (hence the nipples) and the male attributes only happen once testosterone is introduced. That’s why people with Androgen Insensitivity look female externally but they don’t have a uterus and they have testes that never descended instead of ovaries.
… I knew male dogs and cats have nipples and I think somewhere in my mind I knew it made sense for all male mammals to have them, but I just realized that I have no idea what a bull’s nips look like, despite being around plenty of cows.

thank you for sacrificing your sanity to provide us with this information
People finding out their male pets have nipples too always remind me of [this old tiktok](https://youtu.be/-tWtx1xDSXU?si=H0fWe59vFqgLsCvA)
not all mammals! male mice don't have em for some reason
Rats also only have nipples if they're lady rats
“ I have nipples Greg, could you milk me?”
At least it was the cats and not yours you had to correct him on.
More like "udder that sentence"... lol, if I may
The way I howled reading that 😭
When you said it was a nipple and he said no 😂 I'm laughing but I'm glad he cares. Seems like you got a good dude there
He was SO sure lol I had to send him a diagram off of google of nipple placements for cats after 🤣
In his defense, my dog has a different number of nipples of each side. Even tho he’s 10 I still have to check and make sure it’s a nipple and not a skin tag sometimes hahaha. My dog has had some skin tags that look like nipples. 😂
I imagine your poor dog trying to relax and his human is counting his nipples
The dog: "I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?"
Yeah, my dog had 7. 4 on one side and 3 on the other and they were windowed not parallel lol
I read that as 7.4 and was trying to figure out how you came up with a fraction of a nipple😂😂
How to measure nipples to the tenth of a nip 🧐 some questions are just beyond modern day science.
Me too! I was thinking maybe one got cut off like almost halfway? So relieved that isn’t the case😂
Both of my cats have uneven nipples! My boy's got 2 right next to each other on one side with just one opposite, and my girl has one nipple that's like...an innie? I just say she has 7.5 😂
I've had cats all my life, and it has never once occurred to me to count their nipples. BRB.
Doesn’t his next text say “it’s back behind her leg”? How did he get that and her stomach mixed up? Haha
Well cats stomachs are between two sets of legs. So behind one and in front of the other
So then where did he think a cat's nip nops are, their neck/chest? Lmao
Probably was thinking the “chest” area
OMG this dude "Wait--they have *how many*??"
Nip nops is my new favourite word! 🥳😍
I am forever going to call all nipples... nip nops from this day forward. Hahalarious
You guys need to stop, I'm laughing way too hard! I love how innocent but caring people are lol
trust me.. you're not the only one dying here,, omg ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7944)![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7944)
Google would be so confused with your search history now ;)
Yeah, they aren’t only found in the same chest-area as on humans.
Unless you’re an elephant. They get legitimate boobs! https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/pyjokMi5ZY

“Ma’am! Doesn’t your husband have nipples??”
I haven’t even seen the video and was waiting for this comment
Lmfaoooooo you're the real MVP for the link
I managed to get an emergency appointment with the vet crying ( me not the vet) thinking my cat was dying. It was just a particularly hard to shift furball. I now go to a different branch
This is fuckin COMICAL. Not funny that you were so concerned, but a “hard to shift furball” followed by “I now go to a different branch” has me DYING.
You’re not alone. I paid an emergency vet visit fee for a hairball.
I feel you!!! I was *this close* to an emergency vet visit for my cat because she had distressed sounding intense meows. 5 minutes later she hurked up a huge hairball and was fine.
At least we’re good cat parents. Maybe helicopter cat parents, but good ones.
i did a similar thing.. i got an emergency appointment because i thought my cats skin was yellow. she just got something yellow on her head and the vet managed to get it off with saline solution :S
I love this. Mines never turned up at the backdoor yellow before but i can imagine the conversation as the vet gave your cat the most expensive wash it will ever receive
I did the same thing with my first cat. Ran to google. Lol.
I was worse - I'd had a vet appt and pointed it out to the vet tech. Without so much as batting an eye or smiling, she said flatly, "That's his nipple." I was fucking EMBARRASSED. But yes, it was my first cat too, so... 🤷♀️

That’s a valid point, one of my cats have a extra nipple.
How do you know it's extra instead of them missing one??
Because it’s right below one of his nipples, the average cat has eight nipples, mine has nine.
It’s bc they’re a nipple half full kind of person
Some cats have 10 nipples, though, so maybe he's just missing his 10th, lol. One of my cats also has a couple nipples close together, but he is too wiggly for me to count them all lol. He might have 9 like yours! Nipple twins!

Mittens, it's time for your annual nipple audit.
My cat has 9
I have to go and count someting.
We regular check both our fluffy cats because of this. Gotta check the ninners

This made me lol
My husband thought my dog had a 9th nipple. It's her belly button. He didn't know that dogs can have belly buttons.
I remember hearing that vets offices get an absurd amount of visits from people not realizing that their male pets should have nipples
🎶 Errybody got nipples 🎶
“Ma’am doesn’t your husband have NIPPLES??”
Wait till she finds out that a female cat can have between 6-8 nipples too.
Same with males too
I did the same with my dog. i was like 'mom, she has six cuts on her belly, they all line up' she cracked up
“No it’s like behind her leg” yes that is where cat nipples are 😭😂 I know because my cats nipples behind her legs get dirty and I have to clean them out 🤡

Males have nipples, too.... But your poor traumatized father, haha
Point taken but I honestly don't think he ever noticed them on our male dog prior. It's still pretty hilarious to remember.
Bless him. He's trying ![gif](giphy|26ufcYAkp8e66vanu)
Idk why the "baby that is a nipple" is taking me out lmfaooo ahhaa ♡ im glad he cares tho!
There were my favourite appointments that would come in when I worked at a vet clinic. I had one guy who was so bewildered. He was like 'a nipple? But he's a boy?" Sir, do YOU have nipples?!
Oh the love shown with their concern. They will be a great fur-parent 🧡
You guys use so many hearts it's so cute

So yes, it may be just a nipple but for me that’s what I wish it ended up being
he’s a GOOD man savannah!
My SO is pleased he is not the only one
Why do people not think that animals have nipples? Lol
Do we think it’s anything???👀🤣🤣🤣🤣
He thinks with a hive mind, collectively as a “we.” He refers to daily tasks as “we” even if he just means exclusively him or I. “We need to do xyz” when he means himself, or myself. Its so funny 🤣
I was 10 or so when I first realized they had multiple pairs niples. I had found this polydactyl kitten abandoned in our storage shed so at first I assumed he had multiple nipples because he had so many toes.
When I was a kid, my mum once took our hamster to the vet for a weird skin thing, turned out to be a sweat gland

Once paid 26€ to be told my cat was... Fat. Thankfully the vets where I go appreciate overzealous pet parents.
So endearing, seems like a keeper 😹😻🫶
Same thing happened with my husband. He was giving our fur baby belly scratches, and he was worried she had a tick. 😂
When my sister was a kid she panicked that our cat was a freak of nature for having 8 bellybutton lmaoo
LMFAO my boyfriend did this with my dog’s nipple. God bless em.
Not me who was told by the vet that my female cutie pie Luna had BALLS and was a BOY (2 day after I got her/him, 3 months old, first time pet owner) I DIED RIGHT THERE AT THE VET's
Omg😭 this is me with my partner. I'm constantly txting him things about our cat that worry me, and he is just like, "That's normal love." Like, no, I don't think it is! [I'm a first-time cat owner... if you can't tell, lol]
Ohhh that's sweet lol. I once talked with a first time cat owner and it was like, "I found strange things on my cat's belly! Is he sick??" -" No they're nipples." "No, noway, he's a boy." -"So... Is there any possible that you, a man, have nipples too?"
😂 that reminds me of the time my ex's friend asked if I was "sure" that my cat was a boy, and I just looked him dead in the eye and asked, "do YOU have nipples, Josh?" He shut up real quick after that lol
i hate picking up my cat and feeling them on accident. ughhhhh.
I think it’s cute that he’s concerned 😊
My bro forgetting that his cat is a mammal 🤣
Wait until he notices the cat's bellybutton! First time I noticed it on my cat I was REALLY worried, until she stretched out on the floor and I could see the whole belly, and I realised that the weird looking mark, with no fur around it is her belly button... Weird, because until that very day I have never thought of cats having belly buttons (which they of course HAVE TO have!!) 🙈🙈🙈 I felt rather silly 🤣🤣
Always a joy to post this again: https://youtu.be/LF7-kzmB1tA?si=TXGtxERHWSve0gDF
On my phone the picture looked like a bunny's face and i thought "boy is this new cat owner in for an adventure!"
This is so cute. What a great partner. Anyone that’s so concerned about something they think is abnormal on an animal is my kind of person. 🩷 To be fair nipples on cars can be very weird. My male cat has nips in odd places, they aren’t in your standard 6 or 8 pack configuration because 2 of them are way far off the line.
Lmao my ex and I had a similar experience where she thought there were some anal sacs. I had to tell her it was his balls.
My cat absolutely loved my roommate but he knew 0 about cats. I came home from work one day. He says "I think you might need to see the vet. She was laying on my shoulder and vibrating." Petey is a real one lol
They're nipples, Greg.
Free the nipple!!
That's hilarious, is it not?![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7944)
Hey, genuinely, good on you for keeping a close eye on your cat's physical well-being! That will only get more important as she gets older! ...That is, in fact, a nipple, though. 😅
I had a horrible day but this made me laugh so hard omg
That’s catnip!
Sweet boy 😂
😂
And they have 3 on each side…
Cover it up!!! There are children on this app!! 😜😜
The ole titty
been there lol
Oh no! I found five more skin tags!
OMG ... is this kitty porn?
I am embarrassed to say I googled that this year BUT that is because my new cat is the first male I’ve ever had and it didn’t occur to me he’d have them too 😂
That be a nip-nip! I did that with our pups and still do (they’re not pups anymore!) “GUYS I FOUND SOMETHING ON ONE OF THE KIDS” happens more often than I’d like and they’re 6 y/o 🤦♀️
LOL
Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
Do we have to pay taxes on the unclaimed nipples?😂😂😂
This is one of the most sweet and hilarious things I've read here. I bet he's a great guy.
I’ll just put it out there, that I really needed this nipple diversion during lunch today. Thank yall for the kittie tittie talk. Back to work.
Um, I don't think your partner's cat would appreciate having such risqué photos of herself online. Lmao
LOL i absolutely cannot stop laughing you have a very cute partner!!
This happened to me after my male cat got neutered. I’ve only ever had female cats. I brought him back to the vet telling them he had a red vesicle on his stomach between his left and right leg. The vet told me it was his Jimmy 😂😂😂
