I can't believe none of you have heard of the "Pussy" games. These were popular games for children, especially back in the 50s and 60s, and also used as theatre warmups! A close friend, who is a professor of drama at Carnegie Mellon, still uses the Pussy games as physical warmups with her students. She either has the humor of a 13-year-old or some kind of affinity for the word...
In addition to Poor Pussy, there is also Pussy Wants A Corner:
Pussy wants a corner
(noun)
a parlor game for children in which one player in the middle of a room tries to occupy any of the positions along the walls that become vacant as other players dash across to exchange places at a signal.
