First check if that is a teat. Look closely on the other side of the belly for a matching structure in roughly the same area. If it does not appear to be a teat, I recommend to have Reggie examined by the veterinarian. Cats don't get skin masses as frequently as dogs. You can't tell however what a mass is by looks alone and it's best to play it safe. I hope this helps.
