We presented this heroine's politically-incorrect premiere adventure HERE...
...but this tale never appeared in any Marvel publication!
(We'll explain later!)
Marvel Comics' first publisher, Martin Goodman, also owned several other magazines including For Men Only, Male and Stag (predecessors to present day "laddie magazines" like Maxim, and Smooth).
One of the ongoing features appearing in them was Pussycat's strip, a non-nude clone of Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder's Playboy strip Little Annie Fanny with a secret agent theme (It was the 1960s, when James Bond, Man from UNCLE, et al, were phenomenally-popular).
In 1968, at the same time Curtis and Marvel tried a b/w Spectacular Spider-Man magazine, they issued a Pussycat one-shot featuring a number of the lady's already-published adventures!
Though the spy fad faded, the Pussycat strip kept going, with her now a ditzy working girl in PG-13 adventures such as this one from Curtis' FunHouse V2N11 (1980), written by Larry Lieber and illustrated by penciler Bill Ward and inker Jim Mooney.
(It had appeared several times before in the Curtis mens' magazine line, but this was the copy I managed to find.)
