"Amae":

"Amae" is a word in Japanese that represents the neediness or dependence towards another. As a category for feline gestures, I have interpreted this as how needy the cat is towards a human being, in contrast to the "Kinship" category which is strictly between cats.

Some examples include their mannerisms when approaching a human for pets, or by rubbing their body against a surface/person to mark their scent.
