Anyone out there ever heard of a male cat producing milk and nursing. Our male cat does. Vet checked him out

Question

He's been neutered and he seems to enjoy the nursing of small and medium size kittens. One side of him is full of milk and the other is not. When my husband took him in to get him neutered the Vet doctor couldn't believe it. He said it was first time he's ever seen it before.

Answer 1

Never heard of it! This sounds so strange. Please elaborate... are kittens really nursing on him, and are sure it's male? Has he had estrogen (given to reduce spraying in males)?

Answer 2

cat producing milk?

idk, i think i have to see it b4 i believe  

Answer 3

Wow! I've never actually heard of a first person encounter like this. It's definitely uncommon!

I guess it is possible for any male of any species to produce milk if their hormonal levels were kind of screwy. If they had a high level of estrogen. It's pretty interesting.

Does he enjoy being a mom? Or just produces milk? And is it a constant thing, or does it start up and die down at times? lol, if you don't mind answering :D
