The meaning of some of the emoji on this list is quite clear, but others require a little explanation. Below we will tell you in which situations it is more appropriate to use each particular Cat Emoji, so that you don’t get into trouble, or confusion. Let’s start from the basic ones.
🐱 A cute cat face without any special emotions is suitable for any message, and does not carry any negative semantic load. This is an analog of the classic emoticon, which is appropriate to put at the end of the phrase as a sign of friendliness, approval, or just a slight smile.
🐈 Very realistic ginger cat is usually used in messages where it is about real cats, because this icon is very well anatomically worked out. Sometimes this emoji is used to point out a familiar redheaded girl.
🐈⬛ This is basically the same as the ginger cat, but the black cat can still be used in the context of magic, folk lore, or in messages related to Halloween celebrations.
A separate category is emoji with cat faces that convey emotions. Here everything is quite simple: each kitty repeats one or another standard emoji with yellow faces.
😺 Smiling kitty is used most often as the most neutral emoji, so, where you need to add a note of sympathy and friendliness. It can also serve as a reaction to a good joke.
😸 On this emoji kitty laughs more actively, and the smile is accompanied by a more cheerful expression of the eyes. This emoji represents nothing but laughter.
😹 Funny to tears is one of the most popular emoji, both in the standard and kitty variants. Use it when something makes you laugh really hard.
😻 The lovey-dovey kitty is perfect for messages with romantic overtones. Send it to your loved ones and friends to express your feelings, or as a reaction to something you really liked.
😼 A kitty with a leering grin is not the kindest emoji in this set. This facial expression can be interpreted as both doubt, disbelief, or disagreement with someone’s position. It can also express sarcasm and an arrogant smirk.
😽 There can be two options here: either the kitty is sending an air kiss or whistling. Although, by the gentle blush on his cheeks, you can guess that it’s still about the kiss. Send this emoji to your loved ones and friends as a sign of your love and sympathy, or gratitude.
🙀 Despite the fact that this emoji is officially called “Tired Kitty”, it’s still more commonly seen in posts saying “I’m in shock”. Indeed, the kitty in this icon looks more surprised, if not shocked, but not tired in any way.
😿 The crying kitty is the saddest and saddest of this category. Usually, this emoji accompanies not the most cheerful messages. Use it when you are very sad, but we wish you to have as few of these moments in your life as possible.
😾 And here’s a kitty who’s seriously pissed off. A disgruntled emoji doesn’t bode well. The most aggressive and angry of the whole feline set. Use it to convey your negative emotions and displeasure.
As you can see, Unicode has a cat for every occasion. Send realistic cats when it comes to your pets, and cute yellow cat faces to diversify your correspondence with friends, because sometimes you want something new, and classic emoji with facial expressions can get boring.
