I won't disagree with any of that necessarily, but I do find it odd that the director of urban development would be controlling a mechanical cat as a Shinra spy. I think they could have easily established a separate character to join the party and actually be working for Shinra, or take an established Shinra employee and have them defect but then turn. Heck, even having Shinra manipulate a character might have worked better. I just don't think Reeve controlling him worked because it raised the wrong kind of questions, like how were you supposed to know the cat was mechanical and why the hell would they pick Reeve to control it. It just came out of nowhere and doesn't make much sense when you think about it too hard.
