Oh, no Kali Maa never gets "jealous" in our "human terms". Actualy, this has more to do with the pujari. Kali Pujari is a very serious "business". The reason, so I am told, is Kali is very generous in giving Her blessings. How She does this can be very "electric" if you will. Some of the greatest saints of all time have had very special darshan with Her, so you can imagine the powers involved. So a Kali Pujari must be very "robotic" (I know that sounds stupid, and actually it is a very bad analogy - it is more to mean you do certain things as a "vessel of Kali"). So the Pujari needs to focus exactly, because She IS going to respond so the Pujari needs to be ready for the "electricity" if you will.
If there is a Temple of Kali, there needs to be a Pujari of Kali. A Pujari of Kali is not necessarily a "servant of Kali". Simply putting on tilak also does not mean your are a servant. You can be a servant of Ram, and a Pujari of Kali. You can be a servant of Kali, a Pujari of Ram. But only certain personalities have the "abilities" to "ride the wave", e.g. be the pujari of Kali. Because Her Murti was given forth most often by a Shakti formula and perhaps Tantrik. Kali may actually work upon the body of the pujari - not in a negative way, but it might be confusing for some. So there is a process used. So I have heard.
