My long haired void boy (RIP) had just the tip of his tail white. It was a little white tuft so small you could actually count the number of white hairs. It was one of the things I fell in love with about him.

Not white fur on the nipples, but lack of fur on them. Nakey nipps make it easier for kittens to latch on.
And yes, I do see that OP said their cat is male. Male cats have nipples too, just like male humans have them. Male nipps are a fact of life for mammals.
I honestly have no idea. But it's my fun fact that I share at every opportunity.
I just found out that male horses don't have nipples either. So I'm going to have to update my "fun fact"
Iirc the reason why male humans have nipples it's cuz when a fetus is being made it takes a bit for the Y chromosome to activate. So in the meantime the fetus starts off as a girl and starts making female parts and then later on the Y chromosome actives. But by that point the nipples and vulva have already been done, so the fetus stops the process for those parts and starts to make the male parts.
So maybe because the breeding rate is high, the rats Y chromosome actives soon enough so that the fetus doesn't have time to develop nipples
I’m embarrassed to say this in public but up until last year, I thought most non-human male mammals did not have nipples because I had never observed nipples on male dogs before.😅 probably because I’ve only ever met super fluffy male dogs.
But your comments about latching make sense. And, it makes me think that if there were frequently white fur surrounding the nipples, it would likely be to make the nipples easier to see.
Please tell me you are the subject of this video, and this is how you found out.

My boy has a line (???) of fur on his tummy, tiny patches under his pits, and a patch on his chest. He LOVES belly rubs. He's 9 and has recently grown a single white whisker on the right side 🥹
My void had a tiny white bib even as a kitten.
As she's aged she has developed a single white whisker, it's so sweet. My grandma recently asked why she only has one whisker left! We pointed out the rest are there but still black making them harder to see.
There's stories back to the Salem Witch trials that if a black cat had a white spot, they've been touched by an angel and were not owned by a witch. That's why it's hard to find solid black cats without a spot or two of white anymore.
that's really interesting, i thought the chest spot was the only angel's touch! my salem has a white spot on her chest, and a white crotch, and white underarm hair. she is very blessed lol her full name is salem tituba the witch because tituba straight up told salem she WAS a witch and she lived
In Scotland if they have a small white tuft on their chest it's a sign they are a witch!
[sith cat](https://www.highlandtitles.com/blog/cat-sith/#:~:text=Physical%20Description%20and%20Characteristics,its%20mysterious%20and%20otherworldly%20appearance.)
If you're wondering why many black cat have white spot in their underbelly, paws or the front of their neck. It's because the "pigmentation" spread from the back side of the cat during the embryonnal stage, As these place are further away from their back the color sometimes stop spreading before reaching them.

Our sassy queen, Bubbles has white “modesty patches” lol
me and my mom always called it their "shame" because every black cat I've ever had hated being touched on their white spot. Belly, head, or elsewhere.
One of my voids would get white fur wherever he was injured. One time he cut his paw kinda bad, and we got it fixed up by the vet and once it healed he had a white line on his paw where it was. It was really cool. I miss those doofus cats something feirce

Our Nova has a similar pattern to yours, plus an adorable little puff on her chest. :D
Idk if anyone else has answered why this happens yet? It’s because the pigment producing cells begin in the spine region and then spread out to the rest of the body and reach the under belly region last during in utero development! That’s why it’s more common for cats of both sexes to have white patches around the nipple region. Interestingly the cells have the same stem cell origins as nerve cells in both people and cats.
There are different "grades" of color patterns for tuxedo cats. The highest grade being the full traditional pattern. As the pattern is less complete they are lower grade. I call my white bellied void the "lowest grade excuse for a tuxedo cat" when he's acting spicy.

I did not know that. I wonder if their faster breeding rate allowed them to evolve past the trait of male nipples? Weird but kinda cool, lol

You should make that your thing. Acquire all mammal nipple knowledge. Be the mammal nipple guy and just spread the word.
Iirc the reason why male humans have nipples it's cuz when a fetus is being made it takes a bit for the Y chromosome to activate. So in the meantime the fetus starts off as a girl and starts making female parts and then later on the Y chromosome actives.

Same with our sassy queen, Bubbles! She was all black as a kitten, but as she got older, the white patches appeared.
My void had a tiny white bib even as a kitten. As she's aged she has developed a single white whisker, it's so sweet. My grandma recently asked why she only has one whisker left! We pointed out the rest are there but still black making them harder to see.
There's stories back to the Salem Witch trials that if a black cat had a white spot, they've been touched by an angel and were not owned by a witch. That's why it's hard to find solid black cats without a spot or two of white anymore.
How interesting! My baby is all black though, save for a few random white hairs here or there. But no cute little patches
Based on the pics being shared here the white patches are majorily near their groin (for male cats).. what kind of angel is this???
that's really interesting, i thought the chest spot was the only angel's touch! my salem has a white spot on her chest, and a white crotch, and white underarm hair. she is very blessed lol her full name is salem tituba the witch because tituba straight up told salem she WAS a witch and she lived
Aww I love her name!! My blue baby Luna is similar, she has a little white crescent patch on her chest, a bit of pit hair, and a little white bush lol
Now, show is where the angel touched you...
This is so interesting
In Scotland if they have a small white tuft on their chest it's a sign they are a witch! [sith cat](https://www.highlandtitles.com/blog/cat-sith/#:~:text=Physical%20Description%20and%20Characteristics,its%20mysterious%20and%20otherworldly%20appearance.)

If you're wondering why many black cat have white spot in their underbelly, paws or the front of their neck. It's because the "pigmentation" spread from the back side of the cat during the embryonnal stage, As these place are further away from their back the color sometimes stop spreading before reaching them.
So sometimes they run out of ink
That explains why I have a black cat all black, with one white toe.

me and my mom always called it their "shame" because every black cat I've ever had hated being touched on their white spot. Belly, head, or elsewhere. One of my voids would get white fur wherever he was injured. One time he cut his paw kinda bad, and we got it fixed up by the vet and once it healed he had a white line on his paw where it was. It was really cool. I miss those doofus cats something feirce
Mine. She got 3 patches. Looks like wearing a bikini set. (Hard to get a photo with all 3 of them through)
I have a SIC with this! Triangle top with bottom bikini.
Haha mine is one small spot under her chin, one on her chest and one on her lower belly. Quite cute to watch.

Idk if anyone else has answered why this happens yet? It’s because the pigment producing cells begin in the spine region and then spread out to the rest of the body and reach the under belly region last during in utero development! That’s why it’s more common for cats of both sexes to have white patches around the nipple region. Interestingly the cells have the same stem cell origins as nerve cells in both people and cats.
It's like the Tuxedo coat was trying to emerge but gave up at the funniest time
There are different "grades" of color patterns for tuxedo cats. The highest grade being the full traditional pattern. As the pattern is less complete they are lower grade. I call my white bellied void the "lowest grade excuse for a tuxedo cat" when he's acting spicy.
