What the bump?

So back on 04.30.11, I took a leap that would change my life FUREVER. I adopted a beautiful Blue/White tuxedo cat whom I dubbed JinX. I had always fed outside feral cats but I'd never had one in the house/apartment. Well, one time I TRIED it but the minute I brought her home she started clawing everything. It didn't last 30 minutes. Anyway, I was nervous because I wanted to be the best cat mom I could be. One could make an argument that I was overly cautious lol; which leads me into my story...

One day, JinX and I were laying down on the bed and I noticed that he appeared to have a bump on his tummy. Curious, I parted the hair and looked at it. I figured maybe he had scratched himself or something. I didn't think anything else about it. The next day, I was on the computer and Jinx was on the floor when the bump caught my eye again. Curious, I got on the floor to get a closer look at it. I was still fairly new at being a cat mom, so I was observant and MADLY in love with him... I wanted to make sure he was OK.

While I was looking at the bump, I noticed he had ANOTHER one. So I immediately got my camera phone and started to take pics of it. I was so worried. I said to him "Don't worry buddy, if anything is wrong, we'll get it fixed." I was near tears b/c I just knew he had cancer or something. I got back on the computer, emailed the "bump" shots to myself and was just about to compose an email to The Cat Clinic when I noticed more bumps, then realization hit me, Oh shit Kiesha, they aren't bumps, they are NIPPLES.

DUH!!!!
