But Pussy and I Very Gently Will Play. . .

I love little pussy,
Her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her,
She'll do me no harm.
So I'll not pull her tail,
Nor drive her away,
But pussy and I,
Very gently will play.

Pussy has long existed as a double-entendre, both as an affectionate name for a cat or a girl and as a vulgar reference to female genitalia.  The Barrison Sisters created a entire act around their pussies and German companies produced risque bisque figurines portraying pulchritudinous ladies playing with their pussy. . . cats.  Dressed only in her chemise and black stocking, this femme and her frisky feline friend are part of a series of damsels in dishabille with their pussies peeking out from under or between their legs.  Incised with number that appears to be “6355” and a freehand red "14" underneath, this paronomastic pair is 2.5 inches long and 2.75 inches tall. 


Two more coquettes and their kitties from the same series.  I have yet to identify the maker, but they are of German quality.  The seated lady is 3 inches tall bisque and incised underneath with number that appears to be "4899" and a painted freehand black "14." Her reclining sister is 4 inches long and unmarked.
