29. What are your biggest weaknesses? 

    velvet shoes, $5 movies, and pint-sized bottles of chocolate milk

30. Are you good at establishing boundaries? 

    I'm all or nothing with boundaries: I've either got a hundred-foot high chipped-glass embedded wall topped with razor wire and surrounded by a moat stocked with jellyfish armed with throwing stars...or I'm upside-down in your lap with my furry underbelly exposed, purring away and begging for cuddles.

    Once I know it's not safe to be vulnerable around someone, the wall goes up.

31. What’s the best day you’ve had so far?
