Why do mammals have different nipple counts?

For example dogs and cats have more than 2 nipples while humans have only 2.

At what point in the evolution did this occured, how and why?

Also, is it possible for humans to have more than 2 nipples, in a sense that is not a rare occasion?

Dogs and cats give birth to a lot of babies so they need a lot of nipples to feed them.

The following is for automod: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Qui ipsum obcaecati ea optio vero ut ipsa enim. Id iusto galisum id Quis suscipit et quas accusamus. Id earum cumque a dolorem odio ut magni quas et consequatur vero eos dolorem praesentium!

Ut beatae sapiente rem fugiat impedit aut praesentium officiis ex voluptas doloremque aut dolorem expedita sed fugiat odio in voluptate voluptate. Ea porro soluta sed voluptatibus ullam est consequatur numquam et voluptatibus maiores sit exercitationem sapiente sed galisum eius cum corrupti maiores. Ut accusamus iste sed consequatur corporis ex sint aliquam est dolorum reiciendis.
