I think RT already promised us a future character alluding to the Cheshire Cat (unless I'm making that up entirely, which isn't unlike me), and we've never had two characters alluding to the same person in the same tale. I think the caterpillar was just to provide context for the size of the sword she summons. So that might not be the best argument. ^^^^^^^ Indeedy. The caterpillar was just there so we would understand how tiny the sword she summoned was.

And yes, Gray hinted that there will be a character who alludes to the Cheshire Cat, but he was really, really shaky about the subject, choosing to be vague so as not to spoil it. I can even quote him exactly and link you to when he said it. He was asked if Neo alludes to the Cheshire Cat, and his response was:

"Youuuuu, okay... *Voice got a bit shifty during the "Youuuuu" part* .... I... Interesting that you bring up the Cheshire Cat. Nnno, that's not Neo. ... So-so, I think I'm going to leave that one there."
