Does anyone else think it's gross and kind of disturbing when you talk about a cat and someone makes a reference to p*ssy?
It's like immediate turnoff for me

@JustLikeGreta when? I looked it up, and it's been a sexual thing since the 1600s.

@Serenitree It has been debated over the centuries as to which term it was first used as. I see nothing wrong with it, cats are after all pussy cats:
Others have suggested that the word comes from pusillanimous, which means cowardly. That theory also holds water (though perhaps not as well as a pocket pouch), considering that when pussy popped up in regular dialogue around the sixteenth century, it didn’t have a sexual connotation at all. In fact, it was used as a term of endearment to describe women in general and didn’t actually get sexual until the nineteenth century.
