About Cat Emoji
A Brief History of Cat Emoji in Unicode
Cat emoji were among the first animal emoji introduced in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The original set included nine cat face emoji representing different emotions — from the grinning cat (😺) to the pouting cat (😾). These were inspired by the Japanese emoji sets from carriers like SoftBank and DoCoMo, where cat emoticons had been popular since the early 2000s. The cat body emoji (🐈) and paw prints (🐾) were also included in the initial set. In 2020, Unicode 13.0 added the black cat (🐈⬛) as a ZWJ sequence, expanding the feline emoji family to 13 members.
How to Use Cat Kaomoji on Different Platforms
Cat kaomoji are text-based, meaning they work anywhere you can type text. Simply copy a kaomoji like (=^・ω・^=) and paste it into any text field. On mobile devices, long-press the text field and select "Paste." On Windows, use Ctrl+V, and on macOS, use Cmd+V. Kaomoji render consistently across platforms because they use standard Unicode characters rather than platform-specific graphics. Some characters may appear slightly different across systems, but the overall shape remains recognizable.
Cat Emoji in Messaging Apps
Cat emoji are among the most frequently used animal emoji across messaging platforms. On Telegram, cat emoji can be used as reactions, and the platform has many cat-themed sticker packs. Discord renders emoji in its own style and supports custom cat emoji for server owners. WhatsApp uses its own emoji design that closely follows the Unicode reference. iMessage uses Apple's emoji design, which features particularly expressive cat faces. All these platforms support both standard emoji and text-based kaomoji, making this collection universally useful.
