According to my Italian/English dictionary a pussy is "micio".   I presume they're talking about the ones with claws.  Oh no, I forgot, we have claws too, have to grow them and file them in order to leave impressions on leathers......  I'm drifting again..... Oh Oh full racing week-end coming up, hot flushes starting again.
 
 Time to put the bottle away and fetch the straight jacket!
