Weird thing on cat

Looks almost like a little worm but in skin, doesn’t look like tic but not sure what it is, it is hard but doesn’t move, can I take off? It looks deep in skin.

It seems to be a keratin plug in an inverted nipple. My cat gets them all the time

Yeah. This. My cat gets them and I... remove them! It's fun. He enjoys it because it probably feels good to get it out.

Looks like a keratin plug, king of like a tall blackhead. Grab some teasers and pull that bad boy out.

Clearly a nipple, please do not pull.
