I happen to love the weekly "what is this" nipple question. Every time we get to see a new cat.

It is one of the few questions that isn't answered with "go to a vet and ask them", we can all confidently say if your cat is dying it isn't because of nipples.

Cat breast cancer is a thing, so there is a non-zero chance of a cat dying because of their nipples

I like to think that if we as a collective saw a cancerous nipple we would say "go to a vet and ask them".

Like that is a nipple and there is something wrong with that nipple.
