Rick and Morty fans are used to seeing weird and unexplained goings-on in the comedy so a cat who could mysteriously talk didn't feel completely out of the blue for the show.

Using one of his high-tech gadgets, Rick trapped the cat in a box so it couldn't run away and scanned its mind to see what was going on.Disgusted by what they saw, Jerry started throwing up and crying on the floor while Rick demanded the cat leave immediately before threatening to shoot himself with his laser gun.Luckily, Rick stopped himself and walked over to Jerry who was still lying on the floor, with tears streaming down his face and distraught at the fact he let the cat into his home where he had photographs of his parents.Rick thought it would be best for Jerry if he forgot what he just saw and shot him with a memory loss gun so he was no longer none the wiser about what was in the cat's mind.

What did The Talking Cat see in Rick and Morty?

In the episode itself, Rick did not reveal what he had seen and so it remains a mystery to fans.

However, Chris Parnell, who is the voice of Rick and Morty, has since opened up about what he thinks the cat was thinking about.

Speaking to Digital Spy, he said: "Oh, wow. I guess it would be [the cat] just eviscerating other people, or maybe a sort of Hitler kind of ruler overseeing the death of millions, or – I don't know – doing horrible sexual acts.

"It's just... I don't know. It's hard to imagine. It's probably better left that way."

So fans, for now at least, might have to just use their imaginations for the cat's disturbing thoughts.

But will The Talking Cat return again either in season four or the next series of Rick and Morty?

When asked about the cat's future on the show, Parnell said: "You never can tell. It depends on if they... You know, we're lucky enough to know we're going to be doing quite a few episodes.

"They do like to bring things back every now and then.

"The interdimensional cable, I guess, was the most popular one.

"Matthew Broderick was great as the cat. It wouldn't be a problem bringing him back."
