On the other hand, when it comes to decisions and feelings, to pussyfoot is no good, at least in my experience; you have to be impulsive rather than hesitant; whatever the consequences, you can tell yourself: ' I have lived my life ', which fact, in itself, is not so banal and to give for granted.
Whenever I acted impulsively I seldom had to blame any wrongdoing on myself: it might be I turned out awkwardly clumsy, I used to consider myself a collector of poor figures, nevertheless I never had to regret afterwards.
Let pussyfooting to pussycats, not to have to brood, over and over, over lack of acting, while laying crouched beside the warmth of a fireplace.
I suppose these kind of people deserve being addressed abruptly with no pussyfooting at all.
It occurs sometimes that you go for a coffee with colleagues, and, at the moment you need to pay the bill, the spongers shrink back, retire to the corner, get smaller and smaller like a cooked steak which loses all its fat.
The word ' pay ' has worked as a vacuum pump to do away with any expected would-be payers within a few metres of you.
In such occasions, any kindness has to be put away, and you have, even while still keeping a smiling face, come face to face with the slippery elusive molluscs, and compell them to do their duty.
No pussyfooting ever with people gifted with ' short arms ' as we say in Italy.
To have deep pockets and short arms means that though you are rich, you are mean.
I saw a lot of these in Japan when I visited in 2015. The maneki-neko or 'beckoning cat' and is usually displayed in—often at the entrance of—shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses.

Meanwhile, let me say that, were it displayed at the entrance of Italian shops, it would certainly be acknowledged to be a cat performing the communist salutation: which is done by raising the left arm with all fingers tightly closed in a fist.
The red ears of the cat in picture, besides, should clear the field out of any eventual doubts left.
It seems to be going like ' I'm holier than thou ' , in terms of communist beliefs and fanaticism.
BTW Am I right by saying: ' clear the field out of something ' meaning get rid of something ? I've many doubts here.
The tight fist of the cat should clear any doubt of its political persuasions.
I am pussyfooted about joining a local welfare organisation because of its reputation.
@mheredge if it is a verb, doesn't it sound weird to use it like this?
I am pussyfooted......gosh!
