What the picture shows

A small tabby kitten lies on a yellow blanket, its paws resting on a dark smartphone as it stares down at the screen with a sleepy, half-lidded expression. Chatters likely use this to signal that they are quietly lurking, reading chat, or passively observing a stream without participating.

No measured meaning yet. Used 4 times in 2 channels this month; one is written once chat gives enough evidence.
