The kanji 猫猫 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The radical (部首, bushu) is 犭 (kemonohen), meaning "animal" or "beast," indicating that this character refers to an animal. The phonetic component is 苗 (byou), which originally meant "sprout" or "seedling." The combination of the "animal" radical and the phonetic suggests that the original meaning might have been related to the cat's agility or its association with plants (e.g., in hunting). Over time, the meaning narrowed to the specific animal, "cat."
