 Sprouting Ears
comment
A symptom of a Super-Deformed Art Shift, where occasionally a character will sprout Unusual Ears or other animal features (paws, tails, etc.) during certain moments to accentuate certain aspects of their personality. What ears symbolize what varies from culture to culture, but generally they break down into three groups:
Cats: Genkiness, excitability, occasionally irritation. Usually accompanied by a Playful Cat Smile.
Dogs: Hyperness, clumsiness, affection. Generally done to a character who is loving, but not all there in the head.
Foxes: Mischief, wisdom, slyness. May be either friendly or malevolent.
Other variants usually depend on the character and whatever is associated with them. If the character can actually transform into said animal it can sometimes be a clue of their true nature, though usually this is played for comedy and not meant to be taken seriously.
See also Cat Girl, Unusual Ears and Little Bit Beastly, where characters actually do have animal features and it isn't just a stylistic choice.

Happens a few times with Hazuki in the first part of Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase, before she gets into the habit of wearing a Cat Eared Headband. This was initially intended to be only an occasional gimmick, sometimes done with headbands and other times with this trope, until the Anime made it a central aspect of the entire design, and then went on to add cat ears to everything, with absolutely no exceptions.

The Apothecary Diaries: In the manga and anime adaptations, main protagonist Maomao tends to sprout cat ears (and occasionally a tail as well) whenever she's startled or particularly excited/interested in something; being an apothecary, the latter tends to happen around anything to do with drugs or poisons. It also ties into her overall cat motif.

In Hayate the Combat Butler, when burgers are mentioned around Machina, he sprouts what are likely dog ears and tail.
When his master praises him or he's contemplating something trickstery, he gains fox/tanuki ears and a tail. And his alternate form is that of a giant snake.
Hayate was trying to conceal an involuntary change in his appearance, and told Izumi that he had nothing to hide. (Probably) fox ears popped up and she began trying to pull away the cloak he was wearing.

Ichigo literally has her kitty features (ears and occasionally a tail) pop up when she gets excited or nervous in Tokyo Mew Mew. Later on, it accelerates to actually becoming an adorable kitten. Unlike others, this is actually canon, and a plot point, and also leads to a lot of awkward scenes of her having to stick her head in bushes or suddenly having to find a quick way to hide them.

Hayama in Kodocha occasionally sprouts leopard ears and tail when acting especially cool.
And once, after Sana outright asks him to kiss her, he sprouts mouse ears, a mouse nose, and whiskers. Sana remarks in amazement that she didn't know "you could do mouse, too! I thought you only did leopard."

Komi Can't Communicate:
The anime and manga make a Running Gag out of Komi Shouko sprouting cat ears when she gets excited about something. Since Komi suffers from social anxiety, she thus cannot emote well, so her facial expressions are exaggerated to make her mood as clear to the audience as it is to her friends.
This is even lampshaded in one chapter by her; when she's up late at night worrying about things she might have done to embarrass herself, and one of her "anxiety points" is "Why do I sometimes grow cat ears?"
Komi's own cousin, Akira, also sometimes grows cat ears when excited.
Agari Himiko, one of Komi's friends, sometimes sprouts dog ears when talking to Komi. This denotes her clumsiness and loyalty... said loyalty being not just Komi's friend, but her dog.

A purely text-based example happens in the Ciconia: When They Cry Data Fragment "Siblings Day" when Miyao thinks his best friend Jayden is planning or has already committed suicide due to turning off his notifications for new messages, which is supposedly done mostly by people about to kill themselves, but in this case was to free up memory for chat filters (since potentially offensive speech is illegal in the AOU, especially when talking to people of lower socioeconomic status, some of which Jayden was meeting up with). When Miyao finally gets a reply message from Jayden, the narration mentions that if Miyao had ears on top of his head, they'd have perked up (which, unlike other visual novel examples, is not represented on his sprite).

The cursed characters in Fruits Basket sometimes take on characteristics of their animal selves in comedic situations:
Kyo the Cat will often sprout cat ears and a tail up when angered during comedic moments, or be depicted with flattened cat ears when embarrassed.
Kisa the Tiger pops out her ears and tail occasionally, like when she perked up at hearing Tohru (who she views as an older sister figure) come back from the bathroom.
Momiji the Rabbit will occasionally sprout rabbit ears when he's being cute and/or energetic.

comment
An actual plot point in one episode of FLCL, where Naota grows a pair of cat ears he's trying to hide. They turn out to be the nascent legs of an alien robot sprouting from the N.O. portal in his head, and due to accidentally transferring his N.O. to Ninamori earlier in the episode the ears suddenly transfer to her briefly before the robot emerges and takes over her body.
