Spot on cat's belly

lilsis

Hi I was rubbing my male cat's belly this afternoon and left a wee tiny spot, moved his hair back and eventually found it. It's like a wee white spot, I've attached a photo but it's probably not great as the camera on my phone is bad. Anyway does anybody know what it is and if it's problematic? Can't find anything about it online. He's due a visit to vet in two weeks anyway but if someone knows what it is then I'll at least know if I need to bring him sooner or not. Thanks.

At a guess, a nipple (They have six if I'm not mistaken.)

Not easy to tell by the picture but it could be a nipple or possibly a skin tag. If you want to, keep an eye on it until you get to the vet, needless to say if there are any changes you should get it seen to immediately, but id say its probably very normal.

Can't really see properly in the photo I'm afraid.

Animals do occasionally get spots too. You could try squeezing it to see if it breaks, but a cat probably wouldn't like that.

It could indeed be a nipple. Search for more of them

My cat doesn't really like me being at his belly (weird), but he's snoozing now so I was able to take a look and I found another one, so I'm guessing they're nipples. Didn't even know male cats had nipples, I feel a bit silly now. Thanks guys.

All male mammals have nipples, even humans
