She is extremely attentive to my breathing, to any sounds that are unusual. And she likes to knead me, and snuggle close, and even pat my face and hair.

It's very sweet, and fairly bizarre. I actually can manipulate her by breathing raggedly for a moment. She will come immediately to check on me, cuddle close, pat me.

It's like heaven sent her to me, at a difficult time in my life.
