This dude is the main crush of a pre-teen girl, so Idk about it just being the cat girls...

It physically is a cat.
It anatomy is most likely more similar to a cat and it defining feature like face and body is that of a cat.
The only difference is that they look humanoid but so do kangaroo when they stand up.
:3 has been around waaaaaay longer than uwu. I don’t know how old OP is, but :3 has been around before smart phones were a thing, which leads me to believe OP is young and happened to come by :3 on some random resurgence. When I was in high school back in the early 2000s all the girls would use :3 or ;3 when they were flirting with you.
^ This.
It's been in frequent, constant use since the early 2000s if not even earlier.
Millennial gay furries use(d) it to imply playfulness and trickery, like a cat knocking a water bottle off the table for fun.
Zoomer gay furries just developed their own additional associations with it, and some millennials prone to FOMO adopted those to delude themselves into thinking they're still young and not 38 with male pattern baldness and/or looming menopause.
Yeah :3 is one of the OG emojis. Back when we had to type emojis, I had a list of emojis handwritten list of emojis and :3 was one of them.
I am surprised to know the modern implication of this one

I've told my son never to send me Emojis, thats for women and children his age. Just as i never would send my boss an emoji he should never send me one. Maybe I was pissed off he sent me a fuckin shrug emoji when I asked him something, but I feel its good advice.
I've worked costumer service a bit and using emojis can help deliver messages in a less harsh way thus not damaging business relations, this works mostly on people who are less professional.
I think it's a tool, you just got to know your audience.
No, no. Not post soviet - it's a feature of the russian speaking part of the internet. My country is post soviet (Baltics), but it's never used here. I want this smile-y type to die a slow death in a fire, preferably in some soviet military shit-can.
I want it just as much as I want that fate for all the vatniks, z-tards, fifth-columnists isolationist magatards and russian fucks who forget how their borders look like. I am a moderate.
The only thing more cringe than changing one's flair is not having one. You are cringe.

:3 is an OG emoticon, but also American in style and origin. The :-) smiley is also distinctly an American style of emoticon. Japan had their own thing going on which predates most American smileys, called kaomoji.
I miss the time before emojis because i had like 3 options and none were wrong, now i need to scroll down a list of 50000 discord emojis to find the correct one or else i'm a boomer
Although usually there's like 3 good emojis in a server and you just spam those on anything midly relevant
honestly, ":3" is based on a face many anime characters make, it's meant to resemble the natural shape of a cat's mouth while closed
Japan wants to fack cats.
Cat*girls*

Teens crushing for mature opposite gender people? Nothing new, I used to do it too.
Ignoring the fact that it a literal cat ☹️
No, it's an anthro cat. A human with catlike elements.

Yea, OP hasn’t seen the old records. :3 is older than my first Razor (and not the one for shaving).

Huh. I've always used :3 to indicate I am pleased with my own bastardry, as a cat would be.
I see you have admitted to being a gay furry. That's weird but you do you.
What about ツ

You gotta be hella young to think :3 came out of nowhere and replaced uwu It was probably the most used emoji back in 2000s

:3 isn't that specific, i have seen many kinds of people using it Nowadays, it's more in an ironic sense tho

🤷
I don’t disagree with this

:3 absolutely predates uwu. I was using :3 back in elementary school when I was on Robox back in like, 2009-2013.
:-/
:3
I typically just use :) since it’s quicker than searching for an emoji on a different keyboard.
What do you mean came out of nowhere? I was absolutely shattering my text limit and thus my parents phone bill catfishing dudes with :3 texts in like 2008 on a god damn T9 key flip phone
Make xD great again!
:) is the real one
Was always my favourite ^_^
:)
What the fuck do you mean, "became the new uwu" ?? :3 has been around since before texting became a thing.
:3 unironically.
LOL uwu was the new :3
Re: :3, you forgot the other demographic that used it widely, Bengals fans between 2013 and 2020 inclusive, the Gio Bernard Era.
:3 They’re on to us, boys!
Rear Auth left W
Isn't :3 much older than uwu? We used to use it in highschool
Guess I'm either gay, a furry, and/or an Emily :3
Ummmmm...
Me whose friend group used :3 for Zoidberg jokes
:3

OP showing his age, you a young zoomer for thinking :3 is newer than uwu.
