It could be an inflammation of the nipples called mastitis or else she could have had kittens not that long ago if she has come into your ownership recently such as my cat who was nursing them until not that long ago. I would say see the vet if it is causing her pain or if it doesn't subside in the next few days.

You need to take your cat in to your local vet. It could be a serious matter that needs to be looked at.

It may be dried flea dirt around the cats nipple. This may appear to look like blood, but still needs to be checked out by a veterinarian.

Do bulls have teats?

Yes, just like human males have teats and cows and heifers have teats. The only difference between the teats of bulls and cows is that the teats of a bull are non-functional.

How do you tell if a cow is a virgin or not?

There are really two ways to tell if a cow (or heifer) is a virgin or not. One is by the size of the vulva, and the other by the udder and teats. A virgin cow (a female that has already reached adult maturity at around 3 years of age) that is not pregnant or has never been bred will have a smaller vulva and almost no udder (except for four small teats between the legs). Cows that are not virgins will have a larger, more defined udder and teats and a larger vulva. The reason this is so is because, with the udder, milk needs to be produced in order to raise a calf. Mammary glands in cattle are only developed when the cow or heifer is pregnant: growth of teats also occur to allow for a "better grip" for a calf to suckle on. As for the vulva, they are larger in "experienced" or non-virgin cows because they have been stretched out from having to pass a calf through the birth canal. This stretching is the same in women, and is the very reason why heifers and women who give birth for the first time find it more difficult (and more painful) to give birth than those who have given birth before.


What does it mean when a female pygmy goat has swollen udders and belly non pregnant not in distress?

Female goats commonly go through false pregnancies. Eventually, the goat will go through a labor which results in a fluid filled sac and nothing more. Sometimes the goat will come into milk afterwards, but often it will not.

Is it bad for a cow to have 6 teats?

A cow should have four functional teats as maximum. She can, however, have two or more extra non-functional teats, none of which affect production nor milking ability. In dairy operations, though, these extra teats need to be removed so that the person with the milking machine doesn't hook up the vacuum pump to the wrong teat.
