A Quiet Plot.
 
FUN FACT:  Lupita Nyong'o was afraid of cats, and even asked Michael Sarnoski to change the animal that she had to interact with. When he declined, she underwent exposure therapy. She explained, "I was terrified of cats. I couldn't be in a room with a cat. I was suspicious of them. I was pretty sure they were out to get me. But I wanted to play Sam so badly, and she has this cat. So I had to face my fear. They hired someone to bring some cats to me in Los Angeles, and over a number of days, I observed the cats and asked lots of questions and when I felt brave enough, I touched one and then it was two, and before you know it I was petting one until I could hold a cat without freaking out." She conquered her fear and later ended up adopting a cat of her own.
