Why does my cat knead me and purr at the same time?

She treads on my stomach with her paws and drools a little. Is she okay?

That's usually a happy sign. Kneading starts in kittenhood, pressing on mum to get milk, and many adults keep it as a comfort habit — a bit like a hug. Purring while kneading means she feels safe. If the paws are sharp, put a thick blanket under her and trim her nails; and mention to your vet if the drooling is heavy or comes with other changes.
