Why Does The Cat Talk Rick And Morty
Okay, Hear Me Out: Cats Get Rick and Morty
Let's be real. We've all seen our cat staring intently at the TV. And let's also be honest, sometimes the stuff they watch is...questionable. But what if they're not watching trash? What if they are understanding Rick and Morty?
Unpopular opinion, I know. But consider the evidence! My cat, Mr. Fluffernutter, seems particularly fixated on the show. He even tilts his head during Morty's existential crises. Coincidence? I think not!
The Intellectual Depth (According to My Cat)
Rick and Morty is full of cynicism. Cats are cynical. They judge us constantly for our life choices, like vacuuming or wearing pants. It's a match made in... a slightly disturbed cartoon universe.
Must Read
The show also delves into complex scientific concepts. Think about it: Quantum mechanics? Alternate realities? Litter box maintenance? All equally baffling to the average human.
Therefore, maybe cats have unlocked the secrets to understanding string theory. Or maybe they just like the bright colors. Either way, they're watching, and that's what matters!
They Understand the Absurdity
Let's face it. The show thrives on the absurd. Characters turn into pickles. Worlds are powered by screaming people. It's utter madness!
But cats? They live in a world of their own making. A world where cardboard boxes are castles and dust bunnies are prey. The logic of Rick and Morty probably feels like Tuesday to them.
Plus, cats are masters of the non sequitur. They can go from purring contentedly to attacking your ankles in 0.2 seconds. That’s pure Rick Sanchez energy, right there.
The Existential Dread is Relatable
A big part of Rick and Morty is dealing with the vastness and meaninglessness of existence. Pretty heavy stuff. But who understands existential dread better than a cat?
They spend 16 hours a day sleeping. They question the purpose of fetching toys. They stare into the void (usually when you're trying to sleep). It's practically their brand.
So, when Morty spirals into an emotional crisis about his place in the multiverse, Mr. Fluffernutter probably nods knowingly. "Been there, clawed that," he's thinking.
Maybe It’s Just the Lasers...
Okay, I'll concede one point. Maybe they are just watching it for the lasers. There are a lot of lasers in Rick and Morty. And cats do love lasers.
But I choose to believe there's more to it. I like to think Mr. Fluffernutter and Rick are having a silent, philosophical conversation about the futility of it all. While Rick is drunk and Mr. Fluffernutter is shedding on the sofa.
So, next time you see your cat glued to the screen during Rick and Morty, don't dismiss it. They might be smarter than you think. Or maybe they just want to take over the world. Who's to say?
In Conclusion: Wubba Lubba Dub-Meow!
Look, I'm not saying cats are secretly brilliant alien overlords. (Although, I'm also not not saying that.) I'm just suggesting that maybe, just maybe, they get something out of Rick and Morty.
And if that something is just enjoyment of the animation, that's fine too. Either way, I will continue to enjoy this "unpopular" opinion, and so will Mr. Fluffernutter. He's already requesting a new season.
So let the cats watch Rick and Morty! What’s the worst that could happen? Besides, they already control the internet anyway.
