(But it might not really explain why he would shoo the cat away.) Theory 6: The Cat Eats Old People However, this would also explain why Rick couldn’t kill the cat. Some think that the cat has memories of something terrible that happened to him, and it was so terrible that Rick needed to remember but Jerry couldn’t. Theory 5: The Cat Was the Victim of Something Terrible

Remember in the beginning of the episode, Rick told the dragon he could stay as long as he cleaned his own litter. Everyone’s overreacting, like they might do to stepping on cat poop. This joke theory just assumes that all the cat did was poop in the sand and other public places and cover it up. Theory 4: The Cat Pooped in the Sand & Covered It Up It certainly would explain why they were so upset. Several fans have brought up the idea that since the episode was about dragons, sex, and had incest jokes, it means that Rick and Jerry saw Season 8 of Game of Thrones in the cat’s mind. A great video imagining this theory is included above.

Some think that the fact that the cat’s mouth didn’t move when he talked, like Garfield, is another hint that this is the correct theory. The idea originates from October 2013 and a comic where Garfield ate Jon’s house.

And it ends with morty bonding with the dragon like he wanted to in the beginning… don’t be surprised if they become a duo opposite to rick and morty as well.” Theory 2: It’s a Reference to ‘I’m Sorry Jon’Ī big theory circulating among fans is that this cat is a reference to “I’m Sorry Jon.” This is an alternative and very dark storyline where Garfield turns into a demon who consumes souls and all of mankind. Rick let him go cause he can’t kill him and wanted to commit suicide because he may have caused it and doesn’t want to see that ever happen. One Redditor, u/girlfriendpleaser, wrote about the theory: “I think it was morty turning into a monster and (subsequently a cat) then committing terrible acts. This would explain why Rick couldn’t bring himself to kill the cat, since he typically doesn’t have a problem with killing threats. This one seems far-fetched, but the idea is that Morty turned into some kind of terrible monster and then subsequently the cat we see now. Theory 1: Morty Turned Into a Monster Who Turned Into the Cat "Is there a reason you can speak?" "Yeah, and I'm ashamed of it" i…is Matthew Broderick the talking cat? #RickandMorty /NHXnXDFgKwįans have a lot of theories about what Rick saw in that sweet-looking cat’s mind.
