WHAT IS IRING IRING?

I was browsing the internet trying to find something that will tell or explain my friends abroad on what really "Iring-iring"is...

FOr those who arent familiar of the Iring, it means CAT in English.... A cat is traditionally both affectionate and non-demonstrative (except at feeding time at my house). Then iring-iring would be a closeness-with-reserve. Or a kittenish relationship, interdependent and giving without a likelihood of deeper exchange.

Here's what i got:

IRING-IRING: It’s close to flirting but without the sexual connotation. It shares shades of meaning with courting but is less formal and doesn’t mean that the person wants to go steady with the object of the iring-iring.

There's even a book about Iring-iring authored by Mr. Myke Obenieta that says "there isn't an equivalent English word for Iring-iring...

Mr. Obenieta has launched his book called "Iring-iring sa tingbitay sa iro" and it means "LOVE BUT NOT QUITE LOVE OR FLIRTING WITHOUT THE SEXUAL CONNOTATION DURING HARD TIMES".
