Pussy was a character in The Sopranos, a series on HBO that is probably the best written, acted, directed, series on American television these days. It is about a mafia "family" lead by a guy named Tony Soprano, and the series plays off the contrasts between Tony the family man, who eats Sugar Pops in his underwear, goes to his kids school functions, and deals with the usual suburban "stuff," and Tony the Family Man, who thinks nothing of engaging in the violence and mayhem that that line of work entails. Pussy was a close friend and associate of Tonys, a member of the crew, who flipped and became an FBI informant. He was "wacked" and dumped in the ocean at the end of last season. B. D.
