"I am, to some degree at least. It doesn't help that--that my heart here? Has been thoroughly captured. I don't want to do anything she'd feel uncomfortable with. And it is finicky, that's the best word I can think of for it since Smudge and Polly are finicky kitties. They'll eat fish gladly one day while holding out for if I can find some beef or pork for them another. And there's no notice for when they'll be finicky, either!
