Насчет " не нуждается в постоянном общении", не согласна, они неназойливы и тонко чувствуют, когда надо приходить, а когда нет. Мои меня отслеживают во время сна, обкладывают со всех сторон, и бдят, когда проснусь. Как проснулась, тут же сбегаются все целоваться, и обижаются, если кого пропустила в поцелуях
??это ?любовь!
