Rosto De Gato

Meow! A friendly, cartoon-styled face of a cat, looking straight ahead. Generally depicted as a yellowish-orange cat face with pointed ears and whiskers.

May be used with a more affectionate tone than the full-bodied 🐈 Cat, though their applications generally overlap.

Available as an Apple Animoji.

Vendors implement the same or similar cat in their 🐈 Cat as well as in their cat-faced variants of smileys:

• 😼 Cat Face With Wry Smile
• 😹 Cat Face With Tears of Joy
• 🙀 Weary Cat Face
• 😾 Pouting Cat Face
• 😿 Crying Cat Face
• 😻 Smiling Cat Face With Heart-Eyes
• 😺 Grinning Cat Face
• 😸 Grinning Cat Face With Smiling Eyes
• 😽 Kissing Cat Face

Google’s cat face was previously orange, Samsung’s gray, and Facebook’s once gray and white. Included in the earliest Japanese emoji sets from Softbank, Docomo, and au by KDDI.
