lildans is a Twitch emote featuring a pixelated cat doing a little dance. The emote is often used to express excitement, celebration, or to join in on a fun or hype moment in chat. Its cute and playful animation makes it a favorite for lighthearted and positive interactions.
Origin
The lildans emote originated from the BetterTTV (BTTV) and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ) third-party emote extensions, which allow users to add custom emotes to Twitch chat. The emote does not have a widely documented single creator or streamer origin, but it began appearing in Twitch chats around 2020. It is part of a broader trend of animated, dancing animal emotes that became popular in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
