Then why draw them facing left instead of facing out like the smiley face? Should all of those be drawn in different orientations? Literally all you need is a single mirroring. Left and right. That's enough so your characters don't spend half their time moonwalking. It looks ridiculous.

Because (1) they originally used the '' character. In ASCII, the cat is 'c'. Does it bother you that it doesn't turn around? Does it bother you that they aren't facing up/north? Why not? I can't say I've ever heard anyone complain about 'sliding' or 'moonwalking' before. Mostly because they're just disappearing from one coordinate and appearing in the neighbouring one.
