She is, indeed, a "fabulous furry friend". She doesn't like to be picked up or carried, so she doesn't do the "fur stole" thing, but she sleeps in our bed every night. Right before I fall asleep, she stations herself right beside my hip (after a ritual walk across, and on top of, my abdomen) and purrrrs while I pet and groom her. Often she is also purring when I wake in the morning.
