AceShowbiz - "Sex and the City" star Kim Cattrall missed out on a major magazine front cover spread for refusing to pose with a cougar. The actress insists she had nothing against the big cat but doesn't like the term 'cougar' when it's used to describe an older woman who likes dating much younger men.

She tells U.S. news show Extra, "I was asked recently by a significant magazine for women over 40 to pose with a cougar and I refused to do it because I felt it was insulting and they took away the cover. I think that 'cougar' has a negative connotation and I don't see anything negative about... sexuality."

Recently, Kim Cattrall vowed never to wed again, because marriage isn't "necessary". she said, "I'll never marry again. I don't want children. I am self-sufficient. If I decide to spend time with someone then I will. If marriage means something to someone else then I guess it could be a... negotiated point. But I really don't feel it's necessary."
