What 🐈 means

A full-body cat, walking or standing. It means cats and cat behavior: stretching, roaming, and doing whatever they please.

Owners use it for cat updates, pet-sitting, and stories about a cat knocking things off tables. It suits a cat on the move, while 🐱 is more about a cute face.

Vietnam's zodiac has a Year of the Cat in place of the rabbit, so 🐈 appears in Lunar New Year greetings there.
