have you ever considered that because the plot of The Matrix relies on taking a pill in the first place, the movie simply would not work if Neo were a cat?
Follow
* Morpheus hides pills quickly *
"Take the uh... right hand piece of delicious, salty cheese, and you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. Take the left hand piece of um, delicious salty cheese, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
LATER IN THE MOVIE
"Nobody makes it on the first jump."
"Yeah, but what if he does?"
* Neo takes one look at the yawning abyss, sits down, and starts chewing on his own toes *
