This song was assumed to be inspired by Lithofayne "Faye" Pridgon, Hendrix's girlfriend in the mid-1960s. According to The Los Angeles Times the song's title references a kitten he gave Pridgon, and later a poodle, both named "Foxy." Other suggested inspirations for the song are: Heather Taylor, who eventually married Roger Daltrey, the lead singer for The Who. Kathy Etchingham, another of Hendrix's girlfriends at the time. Hendrix opened for The Monkees on their 1967 tour.
