Two red hearts standing in for eyes turn the smiling cat with heart-eyes into pure, unsubtle infatuation. Send it for a crush, an impossibly cute pet video, or any photo you'd otherwise caption with nothing but heart emoji.
What 😻 means
Look past the heart-eyes and there's actually a full cat face underneath: pointed ears, a tiny nose, and whiskers, all done in the same warm yellow shading.
The 😻 Smiling Cat With Heart-Eyes suggests a sense of adoration, appeal, attraction, infatuation, and finding someone or something visually endearing, hence the heart-eyes. It is the cat version of the 😍 Smiling Face With Heart-Eyes emoji.
