Same cat, person now with slightly worried but happy eyes. The cat is identical to cat-03/-04 — sleepy, turned away. The right face uses ╹ and ╹ box-drawing characters as eyes; in kaomoji vocabulary, ╹ tends to read as ‘slightly worried,’ ‘attentive,’ or ‘a little concerned in a wholesome way’ — the kind of eye you’d make watching over a sleeping baby. The mouth ∀ is still open in a smile, ˵ cheek, ❀ flower.
This variant captures the very specific feeling of staying still while your cat is asleep on you because you do not want to disturb them. The slightly worried eyes are the giveaway — they are not relaxed-happy, they are ‘I am being very careful right now.’ The combination of attentive watcher + sleeping cat is one of the most relatable scenes in pet ownership.
Use it for ‘cat is asleep, I cannot move, send help’ content. It works on Discord, on TikTok captions for nap-time pet videos, and on Twitter/X for the universally-relatable cat-owner experience.
In Japanese this exact mood is ねこさまをおこさないようにそっとしている (neko-sama wo okosanai you ni sotto shiteiru — ‘staying still so as not to wake Lord Cat’). Pair with おこさないで (‘okosanaide’ — ‘don’t wake them’), しずかに… (‘shizuka ni…’ — ‘quietly…’), or sleeping kaomoji like (-_-) zzz.
