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

In some Spanish-speaking regions, a goat is usually like a big dumb guy. And calling someone a horse is another way of saying they’re stupid.

    Which regions? And do they say caballo for it or a different word?

    Caballo, yes. That's specific to Costa Rica. I forget where I heard the goat one (cabron) but I think it was either Spain or Mexico.
