Looking at your sig in mutt in urxvt, and in vim in urxvt, I get outlined boxes - that usually means I do not have a suitable font (I tell urxvt to only use a small selection of monospace TTF or OTF fonts). When I paste it into lowriter, I see a black cat and a white mouse. Without knowing your terminal, or how it is configured, I have to assume that you used vim in X (vim in a term, or gvim ? The same sort of term as you use for mutt ?) Meanwhile, as it says at https://www.emojibase.com/emoji/1f408/cat "Why does this emoji show up as a blank box () or an X? Not all emojis are supported by every device. If you are trying to view an emoji your device doesn't support, you will see a blank white box or similar symbol () to represent a character your device doesn't understand.
