I really honestly fail to get the wildman to pussycat MEOW joke. I understand hes a wildman when hes hungry... but the rest of it just comes off fucking weird
It's because his hunger has been tamed, like the wildcat... wait, he said wildman turns into a pussycat? Okay, you're right, that makes no real sense. Maybe housewives at the time just wanted their husbands to be pussycats.
