Grinning ear to ear with eyes curved shut from pure happiness, this cat has nothing subtle about its mood. It's used for good news, cute-pet posts, and any moment that calls for an unfiltered, full-body reaction bigger than a regular smiling face can carry on its own.
What 😸 means
A yellow cat face with pointy ears, happy and warm eyes, and a wide, cat-toothed grin with whiskers on either side of the face. This emoji is the cat version of the 😄 Grinning Face With Smiling Eyes emoji.
The 😸 emoji suggests warmth, happiness, bliss and also the feeling a cat has when its human rubs it. This emoji also shows a sense of being loved, pampered and overall, feeling loved.
How and when to use it
- If you're particularly feeling loved, send this emoji.
- Use this emoji to show that you're pampering your cat (if you have one) at the moment.
- It can also be used to show happiness and warmth.
- If a loved one (or a stranger, no one's judging) is spoiling you with extra care and love and you feel like sharing this with a best friend, send this emoji in that context.
