In Portuguese, I find it funny that gato/gata could be someone attractive or a literal cat.

    Kutta in Punjabi is dog, but it can also be an insult and often is (kutti would be the same as calling someone a Bitch).
    When I was really young I was in India, and a dog had pups and I tried to approach her, to pet her, and she barked at me which gave me a bit of a spook.

    I ran in the house yelling, “kutta doggie!! Kutta doggie!!”
    Everyone started laughing :(
