The Pussycat glass you have came from the famous Pussycat Theater chain..

They ran adult movies. Usually a pink building with the Pussycat logo over the marquee.

Hollywood used to have a famous one, which closed a long time ago.

Thanks for this info! I have one of these glasses as well, I just thought it was some random 1970s era bar. I'd say the glass has much more cachet now that I know the truth!

I am wondering if that glass is actually not from the porn theater but is instead for a cocktail called the Pussycat. I say this b/c I am in PA and am seeing these glasses frequently, so I wonder how many could have migrated here from Calif. That and b/c on the back of the envelope for Bartenders Whiskey sour mix there is a recipe for a drink called a Pussycat and it says you have to serve it in a Pussycat cocktail glass. (The drink is a frozen whiskey sour basically).

And here it is from a vintage Playboy mag, the drink may have died but the glass lives on.

I have an 8-piece set of these cool glasses & decided to put them up for sale in my ebay listings this week, if anyone is interested~ please see my 'martiki glasses' post in Tiki Marketplace. They remind me of Austin Powers!
