Hi, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post here . I have a six year old male dsh named Tanner that I adopted about 4 years ago. My question is this , is it normal for male cats to have nipples? I have noticed that my Tanner has one nipple and only one . I may be wrong but I didn't think male cats had them. Am I wrong and why would he only have one? It not a big deal and it doesn't bother him so I never remeber to ask the Vet about it when we go for a visit. Anyone know if this is normal?

Yeah they do, they just don't stand out as much. Mine has one that really stands out too.

Think about human males - they have them too! As do male dogs. Just not very noticeable.

Thanks for the responses. I have always had female cats and for some reason I thought the males didn't have nipples. I guess he has one that is more noicable than the rest. I told you it was a silly question .

yes, all my boys have them. I know for sure one of them has 4 poss. 6. Just be sure it is a nipple and not some sort of cyst.

Don't feel bad. My current BoyKitty is my first male cat, too, and I had the same question.
