Ears, whiskers and paws
Cat faces follow a simple recipe. Equal signs on each side become whiskers, caret marks ^ form the ears and the Greek letter ω makes the curved cat mouth. The Thai letter ฅ looks remarkably like a raised paw, which is why it appears in so many kitty kaomoji. Newer styles such as /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\ draw a loaf-shaped cat sitting quietly.
Purr-fect places to use them
Cat kaomoji fit right in on pet photos, adoption posts and messages to fellow cat lovers. They also make playful stand-ins for your own mood: a grumpy (=｀ω´=) after a bad meeting, a sleepy (=^-ω-^=) at bedtime or a starry-eyed (=✪ᆽ✪=) when dinner arrives. Add “nya” for an extra-cute Japanese touch.
