Copy & Meaning

The pouting cat emoji, depicting an angry cat face with furrowed brow. This emoji is used to express cat anger, grumpiness, or annoyance. Common usage includes 'Angry cat😾' 'Grumpy cat😾' or 'Hiss😾' Added in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. It's the cat version of the human 'pouting face' emoji (U+1F621), used to express anger, dissatisfaction, irritation, sulkiness, or protest.

The emoji is perfect for capturing cats' grumpy moments—when they hiss, dislike being petted, are hungry, have dirty litter boxes, encounter strangers, or face vet visits with shots. On social media, users employ it to express their own emotions through cats—'really angry,' 'in a bad mood,' or 'stressed out.' It's beloved as a symbol of cats' independent spirits, capricious personalities, and 'tsundere' (cold-and-warm) charm. Famous internet cat 'Grumpy Cat' (Tardar Sauce) became a global phenomenon, embodying this grumpy cat aesthetic that the emoji captures perfectly.
