😿 Emoji Meanings and Uses
By anthropomorphism, the figure of the cat expresses various human affects. Here, the crying cat emoji mainly expresses sadness. He is depicted with a cat's face provided with two drooping eyebrows, a closed mouth in a semicircle with the extremities also pointing downwards, closed eyes (oval on some messengers) with a tear dripping from one of both eyes. It is a variant of crying face emoji😢. If you have ever watched the Shrek series, you will surely find the sad expression of Puss in Boots through this emoji.
Apart from sadness, this emoji also expresses annoyance, disappointment, and worry. With a higher degree of sadness and unease, it can also express melancholy and regret for a person or situation.
Moreover, it can also be used with a slightly mocking tone to tell others that the situation is not as sad as that, that is to say to show that the situation which saddens a person leaves you indifferent or to tell her not to cry for nothing.
