I was rubbing Bennies tummy today and noticed only one nipple is red, slightly swollen, and feels a bit crusty.

Is it infected? And will it go away on its own?

Heres a picture:

Hmmm... I wonder if her could have gotten bit by something? Any chance he has been suckling on himself? Any other cats around?

I'd keep a close eye on it over the next day or so. If it doesn't get better, or certainly if it gets worse, take him to the vet to get checked out.

Its possible- he was recently rescued from a shelter, and there are two other cats he is living with right now. Ill keep an eye on it for now~

(I have a lot of the new cat mom jitters haha)

A similar bump is on my male cat's stomach but it hasn't seemed to bother him at all. It's been there for a while and I completely forgot about it until now when I was scratching his stomach. Let me know if this is normal

These members have not been back in several years, so you probably won't get an answer from them.

"Kitten" refers to you as a new member, not the age of your cat.
