I forgot to give examples of affection from my own cat.

I guess the only evidence left of affection from my cat, is sometimes when
I put my face or hand near her face, she will sometimes lick it. She knows
not to lick my eyes, mouth, or ears. Although, I sometimes wonder if it is
coincidental, considering she is grooming herself at the time. So maybe
her licking my nose means she wants some alone time?

I've come to that conclusion with mine: even though they lick each other
they rarely lick me unless they want me to stop petting them (except the
younger ones which are "returning the favour" to my unprotected skin's
dismay)
