feline

[Jonathan Lighter]

"(of women) sexually seductive."

Not in OED, but must be at least forty years old in my memory.

Current ex. from IMDB:

"Quickly pigeonholed as a stripper, chorus girl or brazen, gold-digger
type, her feline roles actually belied her off-camera personality as a shy,
intelligent and chic lady."
