Really stupid question!

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

I had problems when I first got Kocka and I had decided that Kocka was male. Thwe first time Kocka went to the vets I asked the woman, and she said Kocka was female , this was a cat who is about 10yrs old, Fine I took home Kocka and thought no problem Kocka is a unisex name 

The she got ill again about 8 months later and she was registered with her insurance as a she ansd I called her Miss Kocka etc, and the vet who owned the practice called her a poor little man!  I said but I was told she was a she and anyway look at her tummy........He laughed and said no Kocka is a he, a neutered he and all cats have tummys like that 

Poor Kocka, I didnt think she could stand another sex change and she was always she and the vet records even said to refer her as a she and they called her she until about 8 years later and some aussie bloke vet started calling her a poor little fella.....I pointed out that she was known as she and registered with insurance as she but he insisted on calling her a he and a man

Thanks everyone. I have just 'Googled' my question and the answer is 'yes, male cats have the same number of nipples as females.'  I should have done that in the first place but it was very nice to hear from everyone!

you got me thinking now, do all male mammals have them?

dolphins?

Yup, and not a silly question at all, one of the first things I was worried about when I first adopted Max 8 years ago, wondered what the little lumps on his tummy were 

We all gotta start somewhere 

[Sam (Fussy_Furball)]

Yes they do.

I thought they did, not sure about colour though

I feel incredibly stupid asking this but....do male cats have nipples????  I can feel and see a little lump on Basil's chest which has a brown tip to it. Problem is, I can't find anything similar on his t'other side!
