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

    Hah that’s interesting! In Spanish we have “mosquita muerta”, meaning dead female fly, and means exactly what the gatta morta does for you.

    I like gatta better, cats are more dangerous :)

      Very interesting! Yeah it’s strange the use of the fly, i’d argue that a cat has a more doubleface aura than a cat. Still pretty cool
