because the fuzzy little flower buds are like kittens paws...Hence the "Pussy" willow's name....a common name for "kitty's" way back when....I guess it's the same as calling a person named Richard, Dick.

I didn't know "pussy cat" and "pussy willow" were bad words, shows what I know. RScott

Cat tail plants and the puddy cat willow are both soft so maybe named after the puddy cat.
