Surely the dictionary definition of '*****' is cat? Why should that be censored when I can get away with the word 'bollocks'? See, they've even censored me!
PS: According to Yahoo I posted the above answer 26 minutes ago (as I type this). In that time I've just seen the word 'cunts' (sic) appear, uncensored, in another question. So I'm trying it to see what happens.
PPS: Perhaps plurals don't count?!?!?!?!?! *******!
As a final footnote, I apologise if the above word has offended somebody (whoever gave me a thumbs down) but I was just trying to prove a point.

They aren,t the only ones ,unfortunately who do not allow the word pusseey ; i,ve had it totally deleted and been "warned" i would be thrown out a few sites for using vulgar/profane language ?? Eh?? Yet bassa paeds ,hard core porn ,lot of sickening and obscene films etc can ALL access /get on the net ....yet a simple little non offensive and "innocent" word is banned ?? Think priorities need put into perspective!!!

P.ussy Willow is another English name for the Goat Willow…

Maybe the problem arose from the spelling--using two words instead of combining them into pussywillow, which I see was published without so much as a raised eyebrow.
So, call your pussycat Pussycat, and there should be no question as to the purity of your intentions.

How is the system they put in place to censor words supposed to be able to distinguish between a P.ussy or a flower? Use your brain woman.
