Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female
My cat has got one nipple with a black ring around the base and one with lots of little black specks/spots around it - she’s 7 years old and definitely not pregnant (Couldn’t get a picture of the black ring around the base)

It is very possible that the pigment around her nipples are a normal variation. However, if the sizes of Cindy's mammary glands differ or if you feel any hard lumps (even tiny ones) near her nipples, she should be examined by a vet.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Saida. Some cats will experience pigment changes as they age. This is typically not a cause for concern. However, if the spot enlarges or starts to bother her, then I recomend having it assessed by her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
