Actually, Kali isn't the Goddess of Blood. She is sometimes portrayed 
as a very ferocious Goddess who slays demons and is sometimes 
portayed as a very beautiful, yet powerful goddess.

And I doubt whether Parvati is a Shaivite although she has a shaivite 
name, as her sister Padma has a Vaishnavite name.

Although in my Vaishnavite family, my brother's middle name is a 
Shaivite one...

I guess it all depends on how strictly you adhere to the Hindu 
cultural codes.
