pussycats
Harmless little felines
Pussycats is the plural of pussycat—an affectionate term for a cat, especially when speaking to children or in baby talk.
By extension, a pussycat is someone gentle or harmless: He acts tough, but he's really a pussycat.
The word carries none of the vulgar associations of pussy alone.
