    Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 4 "Claw and Hoarder Special Ricktim’s Morty" gets an in-depth analysis. Is this dragon episode the most obscene episode of Rick and Morty yet? What is the horrible secret of the talking cat in this episode, and how could it connect back to Mr. Jellybean in Season 1? In this episode of #Ricksplained, Erik Voss, Tommy Bechtold, and the voice of Mr. Goldenfold, BRANDON JOHNSON, discuss the dark themes of this #rickandmorty episode, and whether we should take the advice of the cat and stop overthinking things... or whether that advice is actually covering up the cat's disgusting sexual history.

    The fact that Rick felt the need to comfort Jerry enough to wipe his memory of this says so much about what egregious things must have happened. It’s also the most nice thing Rick has ever been to Jerry in the past 4 seasons, since there was no immediate benefit on his part for him to do it, but he still did.

      Ok. Watch the episode 3 times in a row. You will realize the meaning of the episode. 3 times is importantant because than you become desensitize to the SHOCK aspect.
      1. At the very beginning a barely named space cat is shot in the head. You laughed.
      When later you see a talking cat it shocks and alarms you when it is PERSONIFIED with human emotions and backstory.
      2. The cat is not evil nor good, he was helping Jerry relax and have fun. On the boat, the cat does not display debauchery. It does no harm to neither older intellectuals nor youthful ignorance.
      2. What they see in the binoculars is reality or real world, misery in real life. They cant handle and want to only know fantasy and escapism. Our real world is horrifying compared to a cartoon..and yet they horrified you with a subliminal cartoon.
      3. The episode is about half escapism, second half relationships.
      4. Dont be scared rewatch the episode, it is very deep and truthful and cunning.
      TL,DR : cat that talks would have feelings.

      Cat is just metaphor for reality..everybody has a tragic moments in their life. Maybe not ironically Matthew Broderick killed 2 people in a tragic accident in real life..cartoon space cat at beginning of episode is shot in the head but is dismissed as comedy, later talking cat is personified and more to reality. We are suppose to empathize with cat..jerry and Rick are the real fiction and cant handle reality.

Bill Cipher died and there was a prophecy that he'd come back in a different form and a different time. So, my theory is that the cat is Bill. What do you think?

    Well there's a few things: first off, when the cat ditched Jerry to party on the yacht, he didn't end up doing anything other than try to make friends and 'have fun'. He then afterwards apologized to Jerry. Later he mentions he has nowhere to go. He probably isn't a rapist but just likes to 'have fun' if you catch my drift. I'm likely to believe it's a version of Schrodinger's cat. At the beginning of the episode, Jerry finds the cat in his room. At the end of the episode, he seems to forget that, screaming "He was in my home where I keep photos of my parents!" Jerry probably keeps pictures of his parents in his room, so following this theme, the cat just showed up in his room all alone from somewhere. I think when they scanned his mind they saw every conceivable possible reality very very very quickly when the cat was alone in Jerry's room, enough to make Jerry throw up after a second in and enough to catch Rick off guard after the first few seconds. Rick, being one of the most powerful beings in the entire multiverse has a lot of lines he won't cross. He doesn't turn his back on his family, he doesn't kill *too* randomly, etc... Rick probably saw a lot of realities where the cat "had fun" with various members of his family along with the possibility of the cat committing mass genocide, child raping (more specifically Morty/Summer) or any number of insane things considering the cat was alone and pretty much anything could've happened. Rick probably got so overwhelmed by even considering those kinds of thoughts he wanted to kill himself for it, which is likely why he didn't kill the cat because it wasn't its fault. Anyway that's just my theory

    The Cat represents 2 things: Schrodinger's Cat and "Curiosity Killed the Cat."

But the second half of "Curiosity Killed the cat" is "but satisfaction brought it back" so we probably haven't seen the last of this cat.

I guess it could be some sort of commentary about the dangers of curiosity. Idk. I just know that I've always been the kind of person who wants to ask questions, and preferably have them answered too.

    I think the cat is some sort of incarnation of Jacob. It would explain why seeing the video made Jerry specifically vomit while just making Rick rather uncomfortable (and warn Jerry not to look), why the cat would be in Jerry's home with his parents, would support the notion that his parents were being taken advantage of in a sexual relationship, and the overall sexual deviant behavior. At this point, Rick and his family have seen so many things that I can't imagine any particular event that would make them that distraught, unless they had some sort of attachment to the subjects of the event. Just wouldn't explain the baby noises, but knowing Rick and Morty...I'm sure we'll get those blanks filled in eventually.

    So the cat may be a metaphor for people asking too many questions but something missed was when the cat is ignored and he wants people to talk to him to ask him why he can talk it also shows that if people dont ask questions and it becomes accepted and is the norm then it stops becoming unique and its seen as not as important

    I’ve been wondering about this since last night! Strange!

    You're most defiantly are overthinking the cat's story part. It isn't about his crime (if any), Rick was trying to figure out how the cat was able to talk. I think the reason it peeked Rick's curiosity because the cat was acting evasive whenever the subject of how it could talk came up. I think what Rick and Jerry seen was how the cat got the ability to talk. I think that's why Rick didn't kill the cat. The cat might be a victim of something horrific that gave him the gift of gab and intelligence.

    I think it's a callback to The Thing which had a mysterious animal turn out to be a horrible alien from space.

    The cat is a lovecraftian entity called Nyarlathotep. The only one of the Alien gods that can TALK like a human and one of its basic features is the shapeshifter talent.

    The cat is from space. After monitoring the planet, they assumed that cats were the dominant species of the planet so they cloned Cat into a cat to infiltrate the planet and aid the eventual take over. He is also this multiverse's version of Mr. Jelly Bean.

    The cat is from space... Space Hell from the movie Event Horizon

    Reminds me of the Thanksgiving episode of South Park when Cartman was sleeping he was dreaming of Hitler, people dying, screams of terror, and when he woke up yelling he was asked what he saw and he said "what I always see when I close my eyes" 😂😂😂

    The portion where Rick looks at the "truth" from the cat's past reminded me of the Event Horizon video message, with all the messed up stuff happening all over the ship *shrugs*

    The eyes of the cat remind me of Dipper Pines eyes when he is taken over by Bill Cypher. Could be another shuttle nod to Gravity falls.

    I heard marching like an army so maybe its like a dictators brain in the cat. The venture brothers had an episode where a dog had Hitlers brain so maybe its like that
