Cat Icon
cat · Essentional Ui · 6 styles
Open the Essentional Ui set and Cat is one of the glyphs you get. It is one of 139 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Cat lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "cat", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
The metaphor here is the idea of the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger. That places Cat in the Essentional Ui family, which covers the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger and turns up in buttons, dialogs, toasts, form validation and empty states. Teams building literally every application, which is why it is the largest set here reach for this set first. Use Cat where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Cat in 6 styles
Cat ships in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Nothing is registered globally by default, so the import list is the bundle. Import CatBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for cat live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Icons drawn alongside it in Essentional Ui include Cup Star, Forbidden, Home Smile Angle, Menu Dots, Reorder Ess, Target, Battery Charge Minimalistic and Confetti. They share stroke weight and corner radius with Cat, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.
Elsewhere in the library
Further afield in the catalog, Bedside Table2, Notebook Minimalistic, Alarm Remove, Map Point Search, Volume Cross and Lightning cover neighbouring ideas; the name "cat" is 3 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Cat icon FAQ
- How do I use the cat icon in Angular?
- Import CatBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui", register it with provideSolarIcons(CatBold) and render <solar-icon name="cat" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Cat support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of cat?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Cat inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
