:A Male cat is called a Tom but what is a female cat called???

I looked it up in my crossword puzzle dictionary and got three names - tabby, grimalkin and queen. I know that queen is used for mother cats who are nursing, but I've never heard of tabby being used to designate a female cat. I have heard the word grimalkin in conjunction with cats, however.
