Guys, what would make you give such a nickname to a girl friend? Would you do it to any girl, or would it have to mean stg?

This guy friend of mine keeps comparing me to a kitten and kind of nicknamed me "baby cat". Could it be a sign that he fancies me, or is attached to me?
He teases me A LOT (he teases all his friends I think, but he really does it a lot with me, including physically), but he is also a bit caring somehow (he's done a few really sweet things, like bringing me a coffee, he even brought me medicine once at school as I was sick). Also, he flirted with me a bit for a few weeks when we met, but that was a few months ago. Now, it's mostly teasing joking teasing joking.

So, what do you guys think? Am I in the friendzone, or does his behaviour hint stg more?
