My little siberian is quite affectionate but in a quiet sort of way. She does get very emotional when I bring her favorite food and does a lot of "happy dance" around my feet on the way. She doesn't meow much, only when strickly necessary. She usually does so when she wants me to play "tag" with her. I think the most affectionate thing she does is to lick my finger and to actually manicure them whenever she finds a little bit of skin or nail that shouldn't be there.
