pouting cat
A cartoon cat face, usually yellowish-orange, with its eyes wide open and its mouth forming an 'O' shape, sometimes with whiskers or a slightly flushed appearance.
There are different emoji meanings for pouting cat in different cultures:
- Western culture
- Commonly used to express exhaustion from work, stress, or lack of sleep. Can also convey a feeling of 'meh' or 'I give up.'
- East Asian culture
- May be used in similar contexts of tiredness, but sometimes also to express a more general sense of being 'down' or 'bummed out' without necessarily being tragic. The cat element can add a touch of cuteness even to negative emotions.
