The playful counterpart to the Cheshire Cat Grin, often used by The Ditz, the cute Kawaiiko or a more normal character being playful or mischievous rather than manipulative or creepy. This expression is often seen on The Gadfly, and is often a warning that they're about to pull their antics on someone. The Manga style is just more often played as cute or as crackful. They're different in that the Playful Cat Smile rarely shows teeth (except Cute Little Fangs, if the character has them), while the Cheshire Cat Grin shows too many. Also known as "Colon Three Smile". That is, :3. There is also the "Lion Smile", also known as >:3. Starting from The New '10s, UwUnote for satisfaction and OwOnote for surprise became the prominent ways of expressing the Playful Cat Smile.
The Playful Cat Smile often overlaps with other Japanese Media Tropes and facial expressions, like Puppy-Dog Eyes for pleading. Oddly, this is not usually the default expression for Cat Girls. It's fairly common to see Eyes Always Shut with a Playful Cat Smile for characters who are more "passively" happy or a tad ditzy/confident in their shenanigans. Half lidded eyes bring the Playful Cat Smile its closest to the Cheshire Cat Grin.
We have an emoticon for this on the TV Tropes Forum, parsed with "[[waii]]".
A subtrope of Manga Effects. Compare Sideways Smile, another kind of sneaky smile characterized by being face-splitting and having the eyes obscured that is viewed from the side profile.

Ghost in the Shell:
Togusa in Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human Error Processor. He expresses this to gloat his seniority and experience over his newbie partner Azuma, whose overconfidence ended up angering a woman they were transporting home.
The Fuchikoma occasionally sports one while being mischievous. An impressive achievement, considering it lacks a mouth.
Batou tends to have one whenever he's in a good mood, and even Aramaki, of all people, sports one now and then when he's really sticking it to a political opponent.

Lucky Star:
This is Konata's default expression, fitting with her playful nature and her tendency to be The Gadfly (especially towards Kagami). When her eyes are shut, her expression is more like ¦3◊.
Konata's cousin Yui also has one by default, fitting with her Genki Girl personality. Her younger sister Yutaka will sometimes have one as well, though not nearly as often.
Akira tends to sport a cat smile whenever she's putting on her Genki Girl facade, but it disappears when she shows her true colors.

Sailor Moon: Usagi Tsukino gives one to Luna in Episode 31 when she playfully mocks the latter's words of wisdom from earlier at the start of the episode.
She sports another one in Episode 107 when she finds out that Chibiusa has a crush on one of her classmates in her art class.

In Slay the Princess, the Witch is a version of the Princess that features strong feline motifs and frequently has the catlike smile on her face to go with her mischievous, sarcastic and sassy nature. She loses it if she becomes the Thorn, but will regain it if you betray her trust again, symbolizing that she's given up hope on things improving between her and the Player, and decided to fully embrace the Witch's spiteful nature.
