cat face

Wood grain flaw

Cat face is a defect or deformity on fruit—especially tomatoes and strawberries—where scarring, puckering, or irregular indentations form around the blossom end, creating a lumpy appearance vaguely resembling a cat's face.

The condition results from incomplete pollination or cold temperatures during flowering.

Cat-faced fruit is safe to eat but often rejected commercially for appearance.

As two words or an emoji, cat face simply describes a feline visage: Send me the cat face emoji.
