A wipe with an antiseptic cloth isn't going to do any harm, but just a gentle wipe, if you get my drift?  8)

When I saw the title of this thread, I tought it would make a good name for a grunge band.  :evillaugh:

We had a case on here recently where someone's cat had lost nearly all it nipples completely. Sometimes nipples are no more than skin tags and are prone to getting pulled or scratched off. Perhaps Phoenix inadvertantly gave it a good chew whilst grooming?  :shy:
