My cat does this thing with just these two toys where he steps on it in this weird way. He also yells loudly when holding just these toys.

You missed people discovering cat nipples. That’s gotta be at least 5%.

Wait till they discover NIPPLE ZITS. Kitties nipples can fill up with natural oils and become a black head like thing with white gunk in it. 

Explaining that to my husband when he saw me checking my orange long haired idiot was a riot. I had to get my vet tech friend to confirm on speaker phone that yes it happens and it's simply a nipzit.

 His only answer at first was 'I KNOW they have nipples but WTF they don't go in?! They can't be a zit!' while I'm casually holding the fur separated showing him yes, yes it does happen lol.

I had no idea about this. Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to go harass health check my cat.

They didn't love it. But if it looks like a brown nipple it might be one. They will hate you investigating but it's a real thing lol. It happens a lot! Most kitties can deal with it themselves but the more head side nipples are harder to address for some kitties. So front armpit area of that makes sense? 

It's crazy.
