Jerry was willing to keep a traumatizing memory because he knew someone had to remember the horrors of what he witnessed. Rick erased Jerry’s memory anyway to spare him from the truth, and decided to be the one who remembered instead. For once, Jerry was selfless and brave while Rick showed actual care for his son in law.

You’re confused about one thing. Rick doesn’t shrug off what he has seen and been through. There is a reason why he spends most of his life drunk and high off of every drug the multiverse has, and that’s because he’s running from the trauma that someone in his shoes would be buried in. That’s why when he turned into Tiny Rick and became even less emotionally developed, he had to literally be forced out of suicide.

I think it depends on the questions and how you ask them. Also because most people are too meticulous over entertainment nowadays, so it gets annoying sometimes when it feels like everyone is just trying to show off how observant they are all the time. Especially when it's during something that isn't meant to be a challenge. Sometimes you just want to sit and watch a movie and there's always someone who thinks they're funny or super insightful by "asking questions" throughout the whole thing. Usually they are constantly looking for "plot holes" and by that, I mean literally any small inconsistencies. Everyone thinks they're a funny youtuber now because nobody tells them to shut up. I don't think you're bad for asking questions, it's just the climate for "asking questions about fiction" has gotten so toxic and pedantic that it's hard to tell the good question asked from the bad ones. Sorry that your friends lump you on with the bad ones.

Considering all the debauchery Rick gets up to it really makes you question what the hell that cat was up to that was too much for even HIS standards.

My theory is that the cat was original some inter dimensional being, perhaps even human, similar to Rick. Who committed every known atrocity you can think of. War crimes. Sexual assault. Things that can just make you plain uncomfortable. This being may have built up such a reputation that he was appalled by himself and turned himself into a cat about as easily as Rick can turn himself into a pickle. Why? Cause he’s trying to forget. Start and live a new life. But he can’t stop his old tendencies. Why he’s attracted to people who will just continue to do his wishes cause he’s a talking cat. And it would explain why even Rick would find him appalling. But it’s just a theory.

You know it's bad when even Rick is puking at the atrocity that he saw.

Lotsa speculation here, so ill lay out some facts first; The cat can talk, apparently has a thing for old people, and whatever it was shook Rick Sanchez to his core, enough to wipe his hated step-sons memory and treat him with respect, for a short moment. According to some deep crack den conspiracy theorists, there is an old H.P. Lovecraft story about a cat (he who shall not be named) that terrorized a village by eating the elderly and hiding inside their corpses, which is why Jerry said something along the lines of "I keep photos of my parents!!" Its also worth noting that Rick Sanchez, known for utilizing and manipulating a mini-verse for an infinite car battery and just generally having a disregard for life, chose to spare the cat. I think this means either whatever happened to the cat wasnt the cat's direct fault or, during Rick's viewing of the Cats life, Rick saw the cat with regret and shame, and his wanting for a normal life, which is something Rick could relate to. So he spared the cat.

Rick and Morty is one of the best animated shows out there!

you know all is lost when rick cares about jerry

Nicest thing rick did for jerry showed he cared

The fact that even rick is disgusted proves that this cat is worse then rick

Now I'm even more interested in the cat's backstory if it somehow managed to traumatise Rick of all people

What unspeakable inhumane cruelty lies inside that head of his

I think, from hearing the mind scan, was that there were explosions and baby sounds. As people said, since Rick knows what happens in the universe, he did not expect this gruesome scan. He almost killed himself due to how horrific the cat's events took place.

I hope they bring the cat back in the future.

Sad how they'll never tell us the truth abt this cat since, "one should never ask too many questions" or whatever the cat said

This is like 7 seasons of character development for Rick and Jerry in only 2 minutes

I know that the point of it its not to know what they saw but just leave it to our imagination. But here are some clues of what we do know so we can build something more consistent: 1- The cat is NOT an alien. It does not come from space meaning it´s something from Earth. 2- During the scanning of his mind, we can hear what sounds like a place being destroyed: Fire, buildings falling apart, a man, a woman and a baby crying. There is an emphasis on the baby. 3- They did NOT kill the cat, yet they still thinking that someone "needed to know" what happened. This implies that he is most likely not a threat, but the result of one. 4- Jerry mentions pictures of his parents in his house, meaning the cat may have had some interest on them. 5- They interrupt the cat when he was saying "At least know maybe you´ll..." He was most likely going to say "understand". 6- After this he also claims he has nowhere to go, meaning that the reason why he was after Jerry is because he was looking for a home after whatever happened.

I love this bit because the cat is a writing metaphor. That R&M rebuke the notion that the audience shouldn't question stories/tv/movies/games, and more specifically that writers are lazy to not justify the fantastical elements they add to stories. Not questioning the cat is not questioning the entertainment we consume. "Its from Outer space" is a lazy answer and intentionally unfulfilling. R&M rebuke this by creating a compelling back story using only a few seconds of Rick and Jerry reacting horrified. We the audience are entertained and enjoying ourselves as we ask why the cat can talk. Proving the cat, and lazy writers, wrong.

I think they slightly hurt this subversion with the punchline. Rick simply nullifies the situation by wiping Jerry’s mind. Rather than face the consequences of the talking cat, they just forget about it. So they toy with the idea of suspension of disbelief, but they don’t actually deal with the consequences

Bruh, great "high IQ to understand r&m" comment, but not explaining things in too much detail is not only common to most stories, but actually better in encouraging the audience to engage with the story. I vehemently tell new writers to NOT explain things in too much detail because you miss the point in telling a story if you do that.

The cat's backstory isn't important. The cat is a device by which the storytellers are conveying the idea that knowing every single insignificant detail can run the fun of some stories.

What episode is this from?

I always imagined the cat did something similar to Jerry during the volleyball game but on a planetary level and still just kept saying "no one ask why I can talk"

What ever happened, it seemes like the cat didn't have a saying or responsibility on the events they saw in the scan, or at least that's the impression I got from the cat's reaction. He seems like the result of an experiment that went terribly wrong. I imagine, there were more cats in the experiment, but only he didn't go violent and vicious, while the rest, murder their owners then bit other cats turning them also into vicious little pets, until they massacred the whole world. Somehow he managed to scape the dimension he was in, cause I believe that those events happened in another dimension of earth. Maybe a Rick is also responsible for those apocalyptic events, maybe...

A good guess as it fits the MO of the show pretty well. My idea when I saw this was a little off base but it was something so horrible it would cause Rick to freak out like that. We've seen him casually kill thousands if not millions of sentient beings in seconds. I think whatever happened to the inhabitants of the cats home were not simply brutally killed. I think something worse happened to them. Perhaps their conscious and physical forms were fused into an amalgamation of agony, tortured in a mass of flesh and torment that is suspended in horror away in a dimension the cat comes from, simply in the act to to cause the cat to speak. One can't erase this reality nor eliminate the cat to relieve these people. Like I said doesn't really fit the science of the show but whatever happened it was very very horrible

No one gonna mention that the cat is voiced by Matthew Broderick?

The command and conquer scream always gets me lol

That needs to be a future episode

I always like to think they saw the cats movie and that's why they freaked out

The fact that the cat actually was sad..

One of my favorite Rick and Morty bits

I don’t care what anyone else says but what Rick and Jerry truly saw needs to be revealed before this series ends, either from Ricks point of view in this moment, the cat shows up in a later season and finally just spills the beans, or it gets released as a deleted scene or extra in the DVD releases

Pretty much all the people who keep asking what is the cats backstory pretty much missed the point of the whole plot of this, just dont think about it, because it ruins the fun, Jerry and Rick both thought about it and the answer scarred them so much that Ick dos a nice thing for Jerry by making him forget about it.

You can see Rick is a very depressed guy but he has the ability to not let that affect him in a way that it would paralize him. Right after he saw the cats mind and tried to take his own life, he decides to not do it and even decides to keep the memory of what he saw. Maybe his bad mood sometimes is because of him being depressed and all the horrible things he's seen, but he can still keep his mind cold and rational and keep doing his business. Such a cool character.

It showed something that already happened that humiliated and denigrated Rick and his family, possibly involving manipulation of those involved against loved ones. But it only happened as a result of continued relationship with the cat. Which is why sending the cat away destroyed the timeline.

i love this scene cause it really show that in a way, Rick DOES care bout Jerry
