Puss is a highly skilled combatant, and I think that he's even more skilled than his profile on the VS Battles Wiki currently describes.
Puss should have "Stealth Mastery" listed on his profile, because he was able to slip out of enemies dogpiling on him without even being seen.
Puss should have "Pressure Points" listed on his profile, because of his "Spanish Splinter" technique. A lesser fighter would've slashed the top of the giant opponent's thumbnail, but Puss was sure that he would jam his sword in a very particular and narrow spot, even though he was launched by a different character. Although Puss only demonstrated this technique during the movie Puss in Boots: The Last Wish as far as I'm aware, it should apply to his earlier key, since it's implied that he already knew the technique before the movie; he already had a name for it and he already had great precision skill.
Puss was able to tell that the big bell that the Sleeping Giant of Del Mar was using as a weapon would get caught around its antlers and hit its face, as indicated by Puss saying "Hey, do you wanna see something cool?" before it happened. This is already regarded as Weapon Mastery, but it also demonstrates an extra type of intelligence, that Puss has a keen understanding of how physics work, or at least that his spatial awareness is great.
All of the above, in addition to what's already on Puss' profile on the VS Battles Wiki, leads me to even believe that he should be regarded as having "Genius Intelligence". He casually demonstrated that his combat skill is superior to that of professional blade wielders, and that he has extraordinary spatial awareness, which he uses in fighting and for acrobatics. This is especially revealed by how Puss had never been touched by a blade throughout his adventures of earning his title as a legend, until his fight with Death. It literally took a supernatural avatar of the universe just to even land a hit on Puss.
Death, being more skilled than Puss, should also be considered as having genius skill. Death's own feats alone should be enough to reach this conclusion anyway, considering the fact that he's meant to deal with everyone without the possibility for failure. The only reason why Death didn't easily win against Puss is because Death was enjoying scaring Puss, and when Puss ended up valuing life, Death decided to spare Puss. If Death were fighting unconstrained ever since the beginning, then he would've easily won against Puss.
