She sounds like a lovely cat and most of her habits are normal. As for the sucking and purring, I would guess that she was probably taken away from her Mom too young and so is comforting herself with nursing behavior. She may grow out of it as she gets older and more secure. Normally I would recommend that she be put out of the bedroom if this disturbs you however in her case, she is just a little afraid of being abandoned by her Mom and that would be you!!! You could also talk to your Vet about this behavior and see what suggestions he/she might have.
