The last kitty we were fostering had 6 nipples and 5 kittens which we thought was tough. Then we adopted our little girl recently, and discovered she had nipples almost under her armpits which we thought was very cute. At this stage we realised that she had 8 nipples (it's easy to count with a pregnant kitty...). We never realised cats could have 6 or 8 nipples before!

Just curious as to what's more common

Zissou does NOT thank you for asking me that as I of course had to go count them, which perturbed her. She wants a treat now.

I also found out that cats are indeed ticklish, as when I found the two in the middle (I voted six) she kind of twitched like I do when I'm being tickled.

Hehehe cute! I bet there's going to lots of annoyed cats very soon


Stumpy is really small, so it's funny to have so many nipples on such a little body!!

Zissou didn't fight me, but she looked at me like "What do you think you're doing?!?" She sort of likes belly rubs though, so I gave her one while counting...

Tiger has lost ALL respect for me now...
He has 6.
Reilly, well, her belly is "off limits" to human hands...I really don't want to lose a finger. I can type faster with all ten!

Ummm....I can't say...I don't know...haven't really paid attention, plus their kittens and it's hard to find nipples on kittens.

I'm not sure
I'm sure Reilly does have them but I don't want to loose a hand trying to find out!

Right here! :)
I couldn´t vote, as my answer wasnt an option


My Pollýanna has only 4 nipples!
She used to have 8, but after a very large operation, where many very large tumours were removed, 4 nipples went away in the process.
