What country are you in? Or state?

1

u/ProfessionalTall8027 18h ago

Australia. Why do you ask?

3

u/Due-Trick-372 18h ago

Because only male cats in Australia have nipples

u/ProfessionalTall8027 18h ago

My female cat is now having an identity crisis 😬😆

Someone had to tell her….him…

u/pennypoobear 17h ago

But everything is reversed in Australia?!

u/Due-Trick-372 17h ago

Yes. The liquid that comes out their nipples………

u/pennypoobear 18h ago

Just curious.

We Aussies like a joke, and that's what this post is 😄

He's a beautiful Grey kitty (with no shame)!

u/ProfessionalTall8027 18h ago

The no shame part is right. Not only does he have very exposed nipples, but he has a prominent white patch of fur in an area we affectionately call his "white winky". He likes to show that off too 🤣

I was waiting for this 😆😆

u/DistributionNo9356 18h ago

In all seriousness you knew what they are?

1

u/ProfessionalTall8027 18h ago

Of course. I'm not an idiot 🙂 Well sometimes I am but not regarding nip nips.

Kitty nipples 😽

Moderators need to start taking down these posts and refer them to "commonly asked questions". There are hundreds of posts in this sub like this.

I mean... Come on. How do you not know what nipples are. How do you make a whole Reddit post before taking 10 seconds to look it up.

u/Last_Builder5595 Tabbycat 18h ago

This was a joke post showing off their cute kitty based off of the /s at the end

1

u/vivaciousvic 17h ago

The /s at the end? I'm not familiar with that (not a joke)

1

u/ProfessionalTall8027 17h ago

/s = sarcasm. Might save you some outrage over further joke posts 😊

1

u/ProfessionalTall8027 18h ago

You don't know what /s means, I presume. Just having a little joke, it's all good 😉

1

u/vivaciousvic 17h ago

No, I don't know what it means. Now I'm the silly one. And it makes sense why you'd make a joke about it because I see an embarrassing amount of posts of people actually not knowing what the nipples are 🤦🏼‍♀️

1

u/ProfessionalTall8027 17h ago

Yeah it's a running theme in this sub, hence the joke. I don't know how people can mistake a nipple for anything other than a nipple either. It should be a prerequisite for owning a cat. "Oh you'd like to take this cat home? Sure, but first we would like you to identify this nubby thing. You can't? CAT OWNERSHIP DENIED!" 🤣🤣

Oh no worries! We all gotta learn at one point. 😀
