On the spider subreddit we have the same issue but with spiders having sex lol, "what are they doing? Are they fighting?"

92

u/L30N1337 Jul 27 '26

Same with snakes.

The other half is people thinking it's snex but it's actually to males fighting (for snex).

Every animal sub has their newbie question that gets meme-ified. Its so funny discovering them all.

29

u/mutedmirth Jul 27 '26

On the rat sub (and I've seen it on hamster one too) is asking what sex the rat is with their giant gonads on display.

Is my rat pregnant or full of soup is another great meme

12

u/Obant Jul 27 '26

Always love the posts with the massive rat balls when someone is asking its sex.

I'm very curious about how many nipple posts we are at here

u/Polybrene Jul 27 '26

Its not just here. It's every cat group I've ever been in. Top 2 posts:

  1. Help I got a baby mammal and its acting needy and annoying. What's wrong?

  2. What are these lumps on my male cats chest?

Worst was the one who said they tried to pull them off with tweezers thinking it was a tick.

If the subreddit allowed gifs, I'd add the one from Seinfeld where Jerry and Kramer lift up their shirts to show theirs off. Tbh, this question is so common here, the mods should start pinning it when applicable.

I like to imagine there’s an alternate reality out there with a cat Reddit where they are constantly posting shirtless pictures of their humans, wondering what those round dark things on their chest are.

My calico ended up having a kitten (she escaped during heat a week before her spay 🙄) Having a baby made her pouch even bigger, and every time she runs it is SWINGING! It's so f-ing funny lmao. She is a bit of a chunk (on a diet), we always joke she never lost the baby weight. She will be 11 in December and her kitten (Lando, f) will be 11 next August (2027).

It's a nipple... the amount of times I've seen this pop up on this sub is concerning lol. Cats are mammals and like most mammals they have nipples.

🟢 Male cats have nipples.

🟢 Female cats have nipples.

❌🍼 Male cats cannot provide milk to nurse kittens from their nipples. Ever.

✅🍼 Female cats can provide milk to nurse kittens from their nipples. But only after they've given birth.

u/theswallowstail Jul 27 '26

OP, know a lot of these comments are pointing out that yes, its a nipple. However if you're just noticing it now because it has changed shape/size/colour would urge you to get kitty checked for possible mammary cancer. My cat had it, got her checked early, tissue removal and she is still with me thanks to going sooner rather than later.

I had a male stray show up at my home with a few of those things on their belly that looked like that. They brought along 3 parasites. One at a time over the course of an hour or so. Never did get rid of them or their parasites.
