Film Theory: What is the Cat HIDING? (Rick and Morty Season 4)

[@chickencurry420]

Whatever was in that scanner was so bad, it didn't just rattle Rick. It was so bad that Rick tried to protect Jerry (someone he actively, unapologetically hates) from seeing it.

Although this is a good way to look at it, i think the whole "talking cat but mouth never moves" things is a Garfield reference. At least in older cartoons Garfield's mouth didnt move when he spoke. And almost no one was asking questions about why Garfield is not an ordinary cat. Jon can definitely hear and understand him, but looks like he's the only one (other than Oddie)

Samuel Feinstein Ancient Egypt has been explained.

[@jonathanleuck9525]

My theory is that they literally found out why the cat can talk. Why is a cat able to talk? Because the writers wrote a talking cat. It's stupid meta and very self-aware but also fits really well with Rick as a character. The cat is coming to terms with his knowledge and tries to act like everything is normal because he too struggles with the burden of knowledge. But there's a part of him that wants to share that burden but knows that it would only bring pain to others. What Rick and Jerry see is our world and something that Rick cannot do or change. He is now further burdened with knowledge. It would tie into the theory that Rick knows its a show and does odd things to make the show entertaining because if it's canceled they cease to exist. This may very well be the point Rick finds out.

I like the Schrödinger's cat theory, because instead of immediately tossing the headset like Jerry, Rick really takes some time to try and grasp what he's looking at. You can see his expression of disbelief and horror as he slowly manages to process what he's looking at. Rick, the so called 'smartest man in the universe', has to take time to think about something he's never witnessed and when it finally hits him, he reels back in well earned disgust. This man has been to greasy grandma world, a world where chairs eat people, and apparently the "blender dimension", but what is a horror so out of left field that not even Rick knows what he's looking at? Bam, Schrödinger's cat with an old people fetish. A world of pure horror, where everything you know is synesthetic and slowly melts into each other, a violently polarized reality of rabid old people going at it, guts spilled open from the fresh car accident that never happened, flesh rotting but not quite, an infinite amount of possibilities overlapping in a single material reality which is this cat's mind. It's like that episode with the machine of unspeakable doom, except with goatse mixed in.

[@asafupps]

Turns out that the cat is actually meant to represent the writers themselves, reminding themselves to keep things simple, not overthink it and just relax. It was also a bit of a gimmick based off of movies like Oliver and Company or Aristocats, where how the cats can talk is never explained, they’re just there to have fun.

[@NutmegBGB]

In fairness, the Aristocats didn't need to explain why the animals talk for the same reason 101 Dalmatians didn't: They never spoke to the humans in the way the humans could understand. Granted, both those movies have bigger questions whose only answer is, "It's a Disney movie," like how Duchess could teach her kittens how to paint, sing, and play piano without Edgar or the heiress noticing or how Pongo and Perdy could bring home 84 more puppies covered in soot with no explanation as to where they came from, but that's besides the point. The cats meow and the dogs bark whenever people are the focal characters of the scene. In contrast, The Cat speaks directly to the humans in Rick and Morty. I think Roger and Anita would've definitely been more concerned if their dogs blatantly said, "Cruella definitely took our puppies," and the heiress would probably think she'd gone crazy had she heard Marie singing Scales and Arpeggios, and therein lies the difference. In all three cases it is firmly established that normal animals cannot speak human languages, making it a foregone conclusion that any situation counteracting that fact without an explanation would be questioned. I just realized that I wrote what amounts to a thesis paragraph in a KZbin comment section, but I'm posting this reply anyway because I spent too much time on this train of thought to just delete it.

I think that since Rick is aware of the fourth wall, he knows that he is a fictional character.However, that cat was from beyond the fourth wall, otherwise from reality. From the sound that can be heard after Rick put goggles on, the scenes contains explosion, boots marching, chainsaw going through flesh and a baby crying. Maybe after Rick saw that the show he is on give the people in the cat's memory or real life entertainment, he was disgusted about it.And since Jerry is weak hearted in here and Rick doesn't want Jerry to be aware that he is in a show, Rick erases Jerry's memory.

I highly recommend you listen slowly to the sounds rick hears when he turns the goggles on. An explosion, something implooding, marching boots, a chainsaw ripping through flesh and a baby crying. Also something that sounds like a wet slap of something meaty. So the cat I reckon started a war by trying to rob or sabotage something it caused a war and lost. It then tried hiding itself in a body got caught and ripped out of it then running away where we meet Jerry.
