  There is some year, between 1980 and 1992 perhaps, where people stopped saying "pussy" and meaning "cat". Until then, both meanings and their double entendres were used (cf. Octopussy). One of my favorites was in Leather Goddesses of Phobos. Something like: LGOP: ... there is a painting of a cat. > LOOK PAINTING LGOP: It's a very nice painting of a pussy, but is it art?
