In the US, cats are pussies. It also means a person that lack courage in some endeavour. However "pussy", in the home of the brave and the land of the free, also refers to a woman's vagina. My guess is that it would have the same weight and meaning as your word "fanny." Pussy was a word that most females in the US didn't much care for. Mr. Trump has pretty much blown that word waaay into the open.
