Cat Emotes An animated cat emote set, made from one character.

Every emote above is an 8-frame loop drawn from the same character, so the stripes, the cream chest and the headset stay put from Hi to Sleep. The previews on this page are 160×160 GIFs; the downloaded files are re-encoded at each platform size and checked before you get them.

Mochi was made in the Chibi cartoon style: a big head on a small body, thick outline and flat colors. That is what keeps a cat readable at 28 px, the size most viewers see in chat.

• One clear marking or prop. Mochi has the headset; your cat might have a white sock, a collar or one odd ear. Keep one and make it big.
• Faces over bodies. At 28 px the eyes and mouth carry the emotion; a full-body cat turns into an orange dot.
• Exaggerate. A small smile vanishes at chat size, so laughing is eyes shut and mouth wide open, like the LOL loop above.
• Contrast with chat. Twitch chat is dark for most viewers and light for some; a light outline around a dark cat helps on both.
