It could be that your cats nipples are fine but you think that they are not right. Male cats don't breast feed to their babies so their nipples would look quite different to female nipples. Based on this information it is likely that your male cats nipples are the way they are because it has been in its genes.

∙ 12y agoits probably not missing, just inverted. this is common among male cats.
talk to your vet if you have any worries.
also cats with inverted nipples tend to get a 'build up' of skin and oils in there which often dries up and falls out. people often confuse this with the actual nipple falling off.
not a big deal unless it is causing your cat discomfort.. if that's the case see the vet immediately

The above is a rude and false answer.
It is most likely that the cat has inverted nipples, like belly button, oils-dirt-and dead skin can build up in this little whole and cause a "black head". Simply squeezing the nipple (gently!) will help remove a large amount, if not all, of the build up. If there seems to be blood mixed into the build up them it may be a sign of previous injury and a you should seek a vet's help.
Washing the cat will not help with the issue as the cause it internal. Simply keep an eye on it and gently squeeze to prevent to much pressure from building up and becoming uncomfortable. After all, it's just a nipple zit.

∙ 12y agoIf your cat has kittens that are a little older and should be eating cat food, that's why. What happens is the kittens get so old that sometimes their teeth can swell up the cats nipple.
