Pussy as a slang term for the female pudenda is thought to derive ultimately from Low German puse "vulva" or Old Norse puss "pocket, pouch". It didn't arise in English with a sexual meaning until the 19th century, but prior to that it had been used to refer to women in general (16th century). It has since also come to mean "effeminate, feeble, or homosexual men or boys" (20th century).

Cats are a symbol of the feminine. Contrary to other responses to this question, the link to Old Norse is unlikely. In French, "a pussy" is called "une chatte," which translates back to a cat. So while vagina means a purse or a sheath, pussy is unrelated.

Do women really LIKE to shave so much of their bodies or do they do it because they think it is expected of them.
