Pussy (The War That Came Early)

Pussy was a French cat who was abandoned when his previous owners were forced to flee their homes during the German invasion of 1938-39. Pussy attempted to hunt for food but had difficulty keeping himself fed. Alistair Walsh discovered Pussy and took pity on him. He fed Pussy a tin of beef and eventually adopted the cat.

Walsh named the cat Pussy as a double entendre inspired by Jock's reflections on the usefulness of feline agility (specifically, the ability to lick one's own genitalia) to increase the pleasurability of masturbation and thus reduce the libido, allowing soldiers to save money by hiring prostitutes less often.
