Can express calmness, laziness, or “doing my own thing” — catlike independence.
Universally seen as a pet emoji, but in some online communities it’s also used to represent comfort or introversion (“curling up alone like a cat”).
It’s easy to confuse 🐈 with 🐈⬛; the latter has a black cat specifically. If you mean a dark, mysterious, or Halloween vibe, use 🐈⬛ instead.
