How “киска” is used

Киска is the affectionate diminutive of кошка, a cat — the word a Russian child uses, and the one you call a cat with when you want it to come to you.

It carries the same second meaning as English pussy, but far more mildly. Киска is coy rather than crude, closer to a wink than to an insult, and the genuinely obscene Russian word is a different one altogether. It is also common as a pet name for a woman, which English pussy never is.
