Faster Pussycat is the debut studio album by the American band of the same name. It reached number 97 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Videos were made for several of the songs on the album, including "Don't Change That Song", which had a video directed by Russ Meyer. The song "Babylon" featured scratching by one time club DJ Riki Rachtman. Riki was Taime Downe's roommate and together they opened the nightclub Cathouse. The band performed "Cathouse" and "Bathroom Wall" in the film The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, and they were interviewed in the segment as well.
The album was reissued on CD by UK-based company Rock Candy Records, with expanded liner notes and photos.
