When did "pussy" become a "bad" word? I've seen some clips of movies from the 1930s and 1940s where "Pussy" is used like any other English word. At time, obviously used referring to a cat.
When did it become a vulgar word?

Well its just like a lot of words. When teens are in high school they come up with silly little names for things and everyone starts saying it and it gets around. Im not sure exactly when it became a bad word but im possitive thats why.

I looked it up on wikipedia, and only skimmed. I'm not sure if it says anything about when it became vulgar, but it does have information pertaining to the different meanings people have given it.
