What ๐ฑ means
A cat's face. It means cats, kittens, and cuteness, and it is a cat lover's go-to.
Cat owners send it about their own pets, adoption posts, and anything cute or a little smug, often with ๐พ. It can also soften a message with a playful, cat-like tone.
It is sometimes used as slang for female genitals. It also differs from ๐บ and the other cat smileys, which have human-like expressions.
