In texting, 🐈⬛ does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🐈⬛ is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Black Cat emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the black cat emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
