Cat got your tongue? From photo captions and social media posts to texts and group chats, you probably see a wide variety of cute 🐈 (cat) and 🐱 (cat-face) emojis on a regular basis, along with some expressive cat reactions, like 😹 (cat with tears of joy) and 😻 (smiling cat heart eyes). But what exactly do these cute kitties mean? Not to worry—we’re here to walk you through the feline world of emojis, so you can pick out the purrfect one for your next message or post.
Meaning of the Cat (🐈🐱😹) Emojis
The traditional 🐈 (cat) emoji represents an actual kitty cat. Some cat emojis serve the same purpose, like the 🐱 (cat-face) emoji,🐈⬛ (black cat) emoji, or😺 (happy cat) emoji. Cat reaction emojis (like 😹 or 😻) are cute and lighthearted alternatives to traditional emojis that represent the same emotions.
