A full-body cat or small dog with flower decoration. The / and outside are tilted lines forming a body outline (front and back paws or the body silhouette). The ᐠ and ᐟ are Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters used as side-of-face brackets. Inside, ˘ and ˘ are gentle closed eyes, ᴥ the snout-mouth shared with bear kaomoji, ˵ a cheek-shade mark, and ❀ a flower decoration on the side.
The full-body framing (with / as paws) distinguishes this from face-only cat kaomoji. The viewer sees not just the face but also small marks of the body — almost like a tiny full illustration of a sitting animal. Whether it reads as a cat or a small dog depends on context; the tags suggest it can play either role (the source labels it both “shikoku inu” and cat in different captions).
Use it for pet-content where you want a fuller illustration than just a head: photos of pets sitting or sleeping, wholesome moments with companion animals, cottage-aesthetic posts featuring pets. On Instagram it fits pet-and-flower content. On Twitter/X it suits gentle morning posts. On Tumblr it pairs with cozy aesthetic blogs.
In Japanese the matching mood is おすわり (osuwari — sitting) or なごみ (nagomi — calm comfort). Pair this kaomoji with phrases like かわいい姿 (‘cute pose’), おはな付き (‘with a flower’), or おすわりじょうず (‘great sitting’).
