The cat can talk because it's not a regular cat but Schrodinger's cat. The energy box where rick trapped the cat resembles the box of where Schrodinger's cat experiment takes place. Here is what my theory on what rick saw when he scanned the cat's brain. According to one interpretation of quantum mechanics, not only some things that can happen actually do happen, but ALL things that can happen actually happen on alternate timelines. This mean's that every imaginary and even unimaginary horror that can be experienced by a person actually is experienced by that person on those alternate timelines. So the screams that Rick heard, were his own screams, and this is what's so terrifying, he saw himself experiencing infinite horror, and considering Schrodinger's cat is a superposition of these realities, he was able to percieve all those realities simultaneously, and same with Jerry.
maybe the cat, together with other cats, controlled his father, who was dead but he didnt realise. Thats why we see jerry's parents coming on Xmas and announcing their open relationship despite their age, because the cats did it through his father. And thats explain why we see his mother alone later in other season, because rick acknowledge the cats problem of controlling (dead)people.
Well, what Jerry said was, "He was in my home, WHERE I KEEP PHOTOS OF MY PARENTS!" It could simply be that what he saw was so horrific he didn't want to associate the cat with his good memories such as those with his family or in his home. There's still nothing specific to go off of, unfortunately.
Personally... I think that the cat is one of two things. Either it is the reference to the talking cats which hunt Zoogs in the Lovecraft mythos... or, it is the OG menace Bill Cipher himself. (OH SHIT!! I just watched the video after commenting that, and I find this kind of insane. We came to the same theory independently!) XD
Rick has no issue killing innocent beings, also that doesn’t explain the reference to Jerry’s parents specifically (not family but just parents) and the singular baby crying (the fact it was 1 and not multiple has to have significance)
I like this theory i found in the comments from film theory’s video on this, “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. Schrödinaer'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 goats mixed in.”
Wow your theory is similar to mine! Let me copy and paste it here: The cat can talk because it's not a regular cat but Schrodinger's cat. The energy box where rick trapped the cat resembles the box of where Schrodinger's cat experiment takes place. Here is what my theory on what rick saw when he scanned the cat's brain. According to one interpretation of quantum mechanics, not only some things that can happen actually do happen, but ALL things that can happen actually happen on alternate timelines.

I think that the cat is just an ordinary cat, who likely used to live with one or two elderly owners. At some point, in some way I cannot even theoretically explain, he attacked and consumed his owners. Through some random scientific or magical means this granted him telepathic speech. I think perhaps his owners may have been cruel or abusive, and he took matters into his own paws… in a sick and disturbing manner

@@heidiherrera9981Both shows are connected as shown in Journal 3 and The Book of Bill, not to mention Stanford Pines has met Rick Sanchez during his interdimensional travel and the Gravity Falls universe is shown to directly be a part of the Rick and Morty universe under the name "Dimension 46'\" also the Axolotl literally says that Bill Cipher would take a different form in a different time whenever he is freed from his eternal karmatic rehabilitation if he accepts it.
Jerry went insane and drove Rick to the thought of suicide, why does everyone in the comments want to be like Jerry? Also its more interesting to theorize, just take a look at Dream's face reveal, people imagined him has a God amongst men, either beatiful or ugly, when Dream took the mask off all of that mystery was gone, just a regular guy you would see on the street.
Maybe he was some psycho sexual's crime murder like Jeffrey Dahmer or Mr jellybean "which we saw similar reaction in that episode" punishment by recreation as pathetic bigen,,, that explains the screaming in the background
My best guess is that the cat was brutally experimented on think the story of rocket raccoon but in a twist where the cat ended up gaining the ability to talk from eating human flesh the cat eating humans being a reference to the cats of ulthar and the classic science fiction trope of unethically experimented creature escaping.
This is one of the reasons why I hate Dan Harmon and Jeff loveness because he gaslights people acting like oh well that's just because you guys are overthinking it when reality he's the one who made the plot who made the storys and gave us the disturbing audio of this cat's backstory and the reason why this cat could talk that he absolute lied and the only reason why he wouldn't tell us because it's probably so disturbing it probably would disturb us he's trying to go around the truth and make up anything even if it means gaslighting people into believing other than the actual reason of this cat's actual backstory. And why the cat can talk Does he really honestly think that us fans don't have a brain or are so blind that we can't see or have questions. when he does something or create something super disturbing and not explain it
