I was wondering the same thing, I doubt there are the same multiple meanings to the word in Russian as there are in English, but I do wonder if it is a double entendre in both languages.

The origin of the word is French. The French call it "le chat", the cat. The English derivation is clear, and it has probably seeped into Russian in some form.
