Think of the person she uses as her puppet and the cat as her actual body. She remains in close proximity (usually she stays on the body's shouler) and suppresses the persons concious self so that, even if she is away for long periods of time, they won't awaken.

The body does not react to being cut or stabbed because it is simply a medium the cat speaks through to interact with humans (only those possessed by Demons of Sin are known to understand I.R. as a cat). Body Steal basically allows I.R. to take a human being with strong magical power and use it as her own body while being able to freely drop the body at any time and find a new one.
