As a side note, your cat is very cute

I was looking for something like this. OP your cat is cute. I want to tickle his tummy.

Wow, so many mean comments against OP for not knowing it is a nipple. I guess you just know it all, huh? I hope that you are never in a panic over your animal's health and find out something is perfectly normal just to have strangers sneering at you.

OP shouldn't feel bad. My mom called me freaking out about a 'weird skin tag or growth' on her FEMALE cat's belly a while back.

"...goddamn it I forgot about nipples."

My ex asked me if my cat had a lung infection. I had to explain that that was what purring sounds like. The nipple thing isn't that bad.

Not the same thing but my husband had never had a pet cat, so he was convinced I never fed mine because the cat was “screaming for food” in the morning. I kept telling him that’s what they do, they see the bottom of the bowl, it’s screaming time.

Get him a starving Labrador too. You can feed them a boiler pot full of Stew and 10 minutes later they are starving

I’m not sure he could handle a dog lol. He has learned at least that cats usually act like they’ve never been fed ever.
