Health scare blooper

[iPappy]

I'm dealing with cancer in one of my dogs. So anytime I find a lump, bump, or something that isn't quite right I panic.
Tonight, I lifted my little tortie into my lap and felt a lump just under her armpit region. I immediately felt my stomach drop.
She's a very easy to handle cat, so I flipped her onto her back in my lap and began searching for that tiny little lump I'd felt a moment ago. Finally, I located it, and upon inspection....

it's a nipple. Whew!

I've done that ...

My 2nd cat’s nipples turn black sometimes. It scared me too and then I realize it’s just poor hygiene. She doesn’t groom very well so black/brown dirt coats the nips. I usually just wipe with a tissue.
