HappyPag is an emote featuring a white cat with a joyful, open-mouthed expression. The emote conveys happiness, excitement, or a cheerful reaction. It's part of a broader category of animal emotes on Twitch that are used to express positive emotions.
The 'Pag' in the name likely refers to the cat's appearance, possibly a play on words related to PogChamp (another popular emote expressing excitement) but with a cat as the subject instead of a human.
HappyPag appears to be derived from a photograph of a white cat with a distinctively happy expression. The emote is likely available on one of the third-party emote services such as 7TV, BetterTTV (BTTV), or FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), which allow streamers to use custom emotes beyond Twitch's official offerings.
