Cool, but the dictionary provides record of the prevailing use of words, and it is clear that the original comment was said in the same vein as how most people define it – "a timid and cowardly person (typically used of a man)". There was no association with female body parts (or cats, for that matter) made in the original comment. Whatever pet definition found in your community may be is irrelevant here.
