In this citation, as well as in a few other instances, it would seem (at
least arguably) that "pussy" does not refer to the vagina or vulva or mons
or to the general anatomic neighborhood ... but (likely) specifically to
the pubic hair ... which (if true) would be consistent with the
often-guessed etymology from "pussy[cat]".
