Kaomoji Cat Copy and Paste
Whiskers, round ears and little paws. Tap a cat kaomoji to copy it and paste it into a chat, a bio or a caption.
Classic cat faces
Whiskers on both sides and pointed ears. The cat faces that everyone recognises.
Cat faces are among the most popular text faces, and the reason is easy to see: a few symbols are enough. Two dots for eyes, a small mouth and whisker marks on both sides give you a cat. The classic version is an equals sign on each side of the face, which draws the whiskers, and a caret over each eye to suggest pointed ears.
We have sorted the cats by what they are doing. The classic faces are the ones you see everywhere. The whisker and mouth variations change the mood by only one or two characters. The playful cats wave, pounce and dance. The sleepy and grumpy cats are for tired days and not-so-happy moods. The last group adds hearts, stars and fish.
Cat kaomoji are friendly and low-key. They work well at the end of a message, in a bio for a pet account or beside a cat photo caption. If you are not sure which one to pick, choose one of the classic faces: they are the simplest to read.
Whiskers and small mouths
Tiny changes to the mouth and eyes, and the cat changes its mood.
Waving, dancing and playful cats
Cats that wave hello, jump around and ask for attention.
Sleepy and grumpy cats
For lazy afternoons and for days when the cat is not impressed.
Cats with hearts, stars and fish
Cats with a decoration beside them. A fish is just three characters: a greater-than sign, a less-than sign and one more.
How to use cat kaomoji
- Tap a cat to copy it. The tray at the bottom keeps your picks if you want to line up a few.
- Paste it into a chat, a bio or a caption. A space before and after keeps the whiskers from running into the next word.
- Some cat faces use the Thai letter that looks like a paw; if that character shows as a box on your device, choose one of the faces that is made only from brackets and equals signs.
- Put the cat at the end of a sentence, where you would put a full stop. It softens the whole message.
- To make a cat of your own, start with an equals-sign pair, put two eye symbols between them and add a mouth in the middle.
Questions people ask
How do you make a cat face with text?
Use an equals sign on each side for whiskers, a caret or a dot for each eye, and a small mouth such as the Greek letter omega in the middle. Small changes to the mouth and eyes give different moods.
Why do some cat faces show boxes?
Some faces use less common letters, such as the Thai character that looks like paws or the circled numbers for the eyes. Your device needs a font that contains them. The simplest faces, made from equals signs and dots, are the most reliable.
Can I use cat kaomoji in a bio?
Yes, most bios, captions and comments accept them. Usernames often restrict special characters, so check before using one in a name.
What is the little fish after some cats?
It is a few text characters, a greater-than sign, a less-than sign and one more greater-than sign, that together look like a fish. It is a playful extra and carries no hidden meaning.
