German has nothing like the English slide from cat to obscenity — the vulgar sense of pussy has no counterpart here, and a German learning English is regularly caught out by it.
It does have a mild slang use for a young woman, dated and a little condescending, closer to English bird than to anything coarser. The coward sense of English pussy is Weichei in German, literally soft egg.
Katze cat
The neutral word, and unlike English cat it stays feminine even in general use.
Muschi pussy — the vulgar sense
A separate word. German splits what English packs into one, which is why the English word surprises German learners.
Weichei wimp
Literally soft egg, and the German equivalent of the third English sense.
