[The Matrix] Do cats exist anymore, or are they all just code?

A couple of cats appear throughout the Matrix movies and Animatrix, and it recently occurred to me... Are they even real? It's hard to picture a cat being hooked into the Matrix, so I've got to assume they're all dead. And if that's the case, are they just programs? What about other animals? What purpose do they serve for the Machines?

There may be feral cats somewhere out there in the real world, but it's likely that they are all extinct.

The Matrix is only inhabited by the human cyborgs that have been grown in the baby farms of the Machine cities.

Apart from the BluePills, everything inside the Matrix is just code. The purpose of the code is to create a system that keeps the BluePills docile and enslaved.
