The real fly didn’t make it into the final draft of book 2, though it had a nice scene with the Illustrious Circle.
Also, there should have been a real tiger in the Otaon chapter, but it didn’t make it into the final draft. I regret that a little.

A lame duck and a playful kitten might not make it into the final draft.

Nah, it’s too early to reveal more.
