As a cat lover and big fan of Talking Kitty Cat, I was dreading the day I would hear Sylvester had passed away. Little did I dream it would be Sylvester's dad, his voice, that we would lose first. My condolences to all Steve's friends and family. He will be missed.
Yes, I missed Gibson, that was a shocker. Then to hear about Steve, completely out of left field. I really thought Sylvester or Shelby would be the end of the series, not it’s creator. I hope that Steve found peace. Also that he finds out that he brought something rare and beautiful to a world of chaos and hate. I cannot count the number of times I watched the talking kitty series, or how many people I have shown, shared, or recommended it to. I hope that his family and friends (human and furry) can cope with the loss of Steve, because he left a big hole in so many hearts. Many of which he never met. Rest In Peace Steve, thank you for all that you shared with us.
@@Kryodyne Mike,you said exactly what was in my heart so eloquently,I thank you.Please tell Steve's family many of us feel like we have lost a member of our own family.My heartfelt sympathy to all.
this was such a touching tribute. We are all lucky to have experience Steve and his talents. His talking kitty videos were something I looked forward to and enjoyed sharing them. He will be missed. Peace to his family and friends. The world is an emptier colder place now with him gone.
When I first heard that he died, I actually sobbed loudly for several minutes, then cried off and on for days. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I hope that one day I'll get to meet him in Heaven. It just doesn't seem real.
@Angela Allen - I can completely relate to you. I didn’t know him, but he was like a friend. I also didn’t realize how much he meant to me until he was gone. He touched so many and brought a smile to my face and lots of laughter. I know he’s in a heavenly place. Blessings and comfort to Cecilia, Steve’s family, friends and fans.
It sent a very powerful shock through my body, when I found out, just this past Saturday, that Steve Cash was gone. I want to ask "Why did this happen"? But, as Kid Rock used to sing, "Only God knows why". That's all I can really say... except that I'm glad for the videos, and for Steve's life. He made me smile many times over, and for that, I'm thankful!
OMG - that was a most honest and sensitive tribute to a problem many of us face, but are afraid to admit. I thank you from the depths of my soul. I too believe he is in heaven hugging Gibson and talking things over with his mom - finally released from the pain he felt. I look forward to the day I get a chance to meet him up there.
Mary Marks Me, too! I know some people on here are saying he went to hell cos he took his life,. I Don’t believe that for a second! He was sick! He lost the battle,. But he didn’t lose the war! He got the reward,. I’m sure of it!
Thank you so much for that loving tribute to Steve. I hope you and Calvin enjoy your Talking Kitty marathon. And thank you for the good times, Steve, we will all miss you deeply.
Your tribute moved me to tears. You captured every facet of the tragic loss of someone that was like a member of our family. The stigma of his illness, the way he wove his way into our hearts with both his humor and his love for his furry children. He may not have known us, but we knew him. And we loved him. Still do. Even today, I thought to myself, “I knew he had said he was really struggling a few months back. Why didn’t I try to send a message of encouragement? Now it’s too late.” As if something I, a stranger, could have said would have helped him. I know it’s silly at best, arrogant at worst. But there is guilt, even from someone who didn’t know him that maybe something could have been done or said that would change the painful reality of what is now. A world without Steve Cash. The way you see him is the way most of us pray he is now. With Gibson curled up on his lap, singing, as Gibson does. And Steve has found the happiness that was denied him here on Earth. And I also pray he knows how very loved he was by so many. How many lives he touched. How deeply sorry we are he was in such pain. And I want to thank you for the way you ended your tribute. Seeing that your son was just like Steve’s son. So heart warming and tear jerking. Steve would love that ending. Your video brings me a sense of comfort. Thank you so much for creating it. For Steve and for those of us who are hurting at his loss. Fly free Steven. We will see you again one day💕🙏🐾💕🙏🐾
I could not have said it better myself!! I NEVER meet people that I can Truly relate to in life. I find it almost ironic that, here, among those who loved Steve, I finally found what I have been looking for all my life, a common ground, with like minded souls! Thanks for your reply to this wonderful tribute to a man we all loved!
@@katastrophe7764 I don't know anyone that watched Steve's channel that I can ball my eyes out with therefore I am so happy I can do so now. I am so sad, can't get over this. I wonder If he left a note, what he was thinking those last few moments. Did any of his pets witness it? Are they depressed right now? Was he taking his meds at the time? I am completely devastated but I cannot be angry at him. I also have been suffering with depression for more than 30 years and have tried to commit suicide on 3 occasions so I totally understand why he did what did. By watching his videos certainly saved my life a number of times. Pulled me out of that dark place every time. Rest in peace Steve and thank you for the good times... May you fly away on the wings of an angel. We all loved you so dearly 💔🇿🇦👼
Lisa E - Beautifully put. Nice job. It has been sad to lose a friend I never got to meet. Wonderful video. Wonderful feedback. Fantastic guy. Love sent out to him.
You have summed up beautifully how so many of us feel. Your comment and this wonderful wonderful tribute video have eased a little bit of the pain of losing a friend I hadn't yet had the pleasure of meeting but had the honour of knowing in a small way. Thank you both so much, and thank you Steve.
Aponte Cruz The suicide DOES NOT get a free pass and that’s how it is whether you like it or not. You can only pray for the person and ask God to have mercy on the soul. People just don’t want to understand self-murder because that’s what suicide is- self-murder and there is a consequence for the sin. One of the TEN COMMANDMENTS is, “Thou Shall Not Kill.” Period.
@louis raya & thou shall not judge. I will pray you or a loved one never endures a second of this disease. Steve did earn peace through his daily unbeknownst to us alls struggles. My God opened His arms & took him to peaceful paradise. Because he deserved it. As all of us do. I'm going to tell you what I tell my children daily & maybe you'll hear it "if it's not nice dont say it, if it's not kind dont do it". Who are you to judge? Not cool! And no, not God..at all! Only He knows our hearts, our struggles, our imperfections, our need. Not anyone else. God bless you. Please encourage & send love if nothing else.
@@louisraya1748 You have twisted scripture and have used it to hurt people and cause GOD to be blasphemed. The Most High loves us and knows our struggles. HE does not send those people to be destroyed in the lake of fire. Mr Cash is with The FATHER GOD. Do your real Bible studies at Theseason.org or World events and the Bible. Stop spreading lies that one verse preachers have taught.
@@jenniferglosser5161 Absolutely. Our Heavenly FATHER knows when a child of HIS is struggling with a serious mental illness like depression. Mr Cash is being comforted by GOD. ps we will see him again during thr Millenial reign of YeShuah CHRIST and on a Paradise Earth. If you are curious pmease read Theseason.org and World events and the Bible. The lake of fire is only for the truly evil and those who hate despise GOD and those who follow HIM. ps GOD doesnt torture anyone in hell. Hell is the grave.
I really can't Believe Steve is Gone. I loved his videos and he always made me laugh and smile. I loved Steve's humour and Sylvester.....Gibson.....Shelby girl. I have thinking about him all day long. My thoughts are with Steve's family and the pets he left behind. We shall miss him and RUclips just won't be the same without him. Steve is with Gibson now Rip
I am a MAJOR cat lover. I only discovered this UT channel a few months ago. I was crazy about it! I am so sorry to hear about Steve and Gibson! God will give him peace. This is for all of his family and friends and fellow musicians. I am heart broken. May he rest in peace.
A grounding, sincere and heartfelt tribute to Steve. Although his videos were very funny, his gift was really connecting to folks at a deep level of the heart. His energy field was enormous and he was a powerful man in his own way. May he find his peace in the other worlds. We all miss him. I can't imagine what his wife and fur children must be experiencing now. May they be guided and conforted during this difficult time.
A great man who will be missed by all of his fans, even those who were not actual fans of cats. He had so many talents and gave great joy to so many people who miss him dearly. God bless you Steve, and may you be happier and at peace where you are.
To add on to what you've said...I've seen a few people say that they like cats more now, or some others that named their cats after Sylvester, and yet others who specifically adopted black cats because of Steve. That last one is actually quite important as black cats are left behind more than others and unfortunately many are euthanized. So along with the laughs...he gave TANGIBLE gifts to people...and pets
He was a very talented man. I loved his videos. I used to sneak and let me granddaughter watch them with me. It was a couple of years ago. I had forgotten how raunchy they were. Oops. I messed up and told my daughter about it, then played one for her. If looks could kill. All that time I was blaming her potty mouth on her daddy. Lol.
@@michelewalburn4376 awww. I know it's funny because really overall they're very wholesome. It's just a lot of silly trash mouth back and forth (which is hilarious bc it's never TOO much.....and of course....its a cat)...and then of course...theres the catnip. I think it's funny when people say that they watch with their little kids. My Mom would NEVER. I would though (however no kids...just cats...but I would let them watch...curses won't kill anyone)
Wonderful Tribute to Steve Cash! I too have followed & loved his videos. I am 64 years old and have fought a battle with depression for at long as I can remember. Steve, Please RIP! ❤🐱❤
Dude! You made me cry all over again! I also never met Steve but like you, I felt like he was part of my home. My big black kitty and I would sit and watch Steve & Sylvester's antics over & over again. RIP Steve & Gibson! You are missed
A wonderful tribute RIP Steve x Also, may I say you did a great job with Calvin, could he be a future talking kitty? He reminded me so much of Sylvester in a very early video Thank you 🙏
Thank you for your beautiful tribute. I wasn't lucky enough to meet him in person, but still feel like he is my brother. I am bi-polar, with PTSD, and we'll say etc. He had a old soul that that I feel like I completely knew. Few people in the world have that magnetism. I cry every time I think of him, sad at first then joy with a smile. Death is sad, but we must remember the happiness of his art and skill Thank you 🐾🐾🐾🐾
My daughter and I were huge fans of Steve and his pets too, and we still quote the cats with our own cats all the time. I was devestated when I learned of Steve's death, felt like we lost a part of our family. Your conversation with Calvin brought fresh tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. Rest in Peace, Steve Cash.
I’ve never seen one of your videos before, but I’m in tears watching this one. This is one of the best tributes to Steve I’ve seen. You word the feelings very well. I never knew Steve but it feels like I’ve lost a friend. I actually remember being on the phone with a suicide text line and watching the Sylvester goes to rehab video to try and calm myself down. I had just gotten out of rehab myself and I really loved that video. It was the first thing to make me laugh in weeks. His videos helped me at some of the lowest points of my life and brought a lot of joy to my life. I was so saddened when I heard about what had happened. It feels raw. But it reminds me to check in with my friends and the people I love, and hold everyone just a little tighter. Thank you for this video.
Very good tribute to Steve. You are the only one on RUclips addressing mental health issues. I pray that the 700 million views he be rewarded in heaven for the joy he has given us.
Now you've got me crying. That was the most heartfelt tribute I've seen to date. Thank you for your incredible insight into mental illness. It felt like me talking. You sound like a warm and lovely man and again, I thank you. The end was just wonderful.
You are awesome! I'm crying again. My dog Henry and I watch every night to fall asleep in a happy place. We miss him as I'm sure we do. He is with Gibson waiting for his honey, Celia, Sylvester, Random, Gibbyson and GG at the Rainbow Bridge. We love you Steve and your family I give my deepest condolences.
Thanks for this vlog. I never knew Steve had passed. So Sad. I really enjoyed “ talking kitty” Your talking cat at the end was a terrific tribute. How could anyone dislike this vlog. Regards from Australia.
Thank you for this!🤗 I feel like I'm going crazy people aren't more upset about this. I loved Steve so much and I along with my 13 year old daughter are deeply saddened. Your tribute made me feel better.💔
Excellent tribute! Thank you for taking the time to honor an amazing man! I too believe he is up there with Gibson and now at peace❣And your panther kitty is awesome!!
Thank you so very much for your touching and totally on the mark tribute to a wonderful person we all felt we knew. You gave me a great mental image of Steve sitting with Gibson on his lap with that smile of his! I still can't believe he's gone. RIP Steve Cash
I too am gutted that Steve succumbed to his disease. I also am a mental health professional with lived experience. It sucks. I am going to share your video with my colleagues because what you said is so on point and what we have been trying to bring to light for years. If people with experiencing mental distress lived in a society where they felt safe to talk about how they were feeling and what they were experiencing without being shamed and or shunned, we would have far less needless deaths. I feel like I just lost my brother. Thank you so much for talking about mental health in a positive healthy way. We can only pray that more people understand the way you & I do and reach out to those who are in pain.
WAC Veteran Dear Wac Veteran. Please pass along the information regarding EMDR. You can do a little research on Mark Grants site. If people don't want to go to a therapist for this. It can be downloaded or purchased on CD. It's actually being used for veterans suffering from PTSD. I witnessed this in a class & use it myself. All that is needed is earphones or buds. L & R. CHANGE YOUR BRAIN, CHANGE YOUR PAIN & CALM & CONFIDENT are what I recommend. It works if you work it...Have to remind myself too. All you do is listen. Nothing shady about it. Take Care...🙏
I need this right now. An year ago, I lost my nephew in a tragic way due to mental health. And this week, we just had a mental health scare just recently. Nothing bad happened, my mother in law caught it before anything serious could happen. I found myself in the process of blaming me. I was depress; feeling like I didn't learn from my nephew's death. I could have caught it before my mother in law... But i felt(and still feel) a fail. Spirit knew I needed (and still do) comforting words.
This was brilliant and I know Steve is watching and saying yeah exactly the same words beautiful tribute thank you so much I think that could be Sylvestre's twin? 🤗🤗💞💞🐾🐾
What a lovely, heartfelt tribute. Thank you for posting, and thank you and your cat for honoring Steve at the end of the video with your own version. Sweet and well done, too. Thank you.
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry. I don’t know who he is but I will check him out. I have struggled with depression for over 50 years. I do not wish it on my worst enemy. This society isn’t good for anyone’s mental health. Omg Calvin 😂 ❤️ Blessings to Steve. May he have peace. This was an amazing tribute.
Tracy! You will love Talking Kitty Cat! Whenever I felt those blues sneaking up I got relief from a dose of Sylvester for sure. Stay safe. Hope you like the videos as much as I did and thanks again I sense dragon for sharing this tribute!
You are truly in for a treat! Some how this one man and his kitties along with Shelby girl his dog, has made an incredible impact on tons of people he never met. He had a gift and I am so thankful he shared it❤
You are going to grow to love Steve just like we all do. I have never met him either, but sat and watched him with my grandson over and over again, we did. My grandson told me what happened when we were out grocery shopping the other day. It broke my heart. I felt like I had lost a best friend too. I shed tears right there in the store. I wish I would've had the chance to meet him. He was a talented musician too.
I just have to urge you to please watch some of the Talking Kitty Cat videos. They're on avg 3-5 minutes long but you'll what I they were longer. Then you'll understand his appeal.
Every single time I watch his very first talking kitty cat video I have a wide smile on my face to see Sylvester talking, just like the first time. I still want to believe it's true and now watch it with tears in my eyes and still smiling too. I hope Steve worked it all out on the other side, but damn we are gonna miss him.
Beautifully said! Thank you for sharing your perspective on Steve’s illness. My husband had mental illness & passed away in November. I discovered Steve’s Talking Kitty videos right after my husband passed away. Steve’s videos were the one thing that cheered me up. I binged watched them with my daughter. We both felt like my deceased husband was watching with us. Sylvester is the spitting image of my talkative cat Panther who lived to age 18. The one fang hanging down & everything. My husband loved Panther and all cats. So Steve has a special place in my heart. I heard Steve say he suffered from Bi-polar and was wondering how Steve was doing with the corona virus panic. I had a feeling that he might take his life. I was hoping I was wrong & then the news came on RUclips. 😥💙
I loved Steve's Cat Sylvester so much I got my own black cat and he's just as sassy and self-centered as Sylvester. RIP Steve and thank you for your many hours of Wonderful talking cat videos.
Beautifully done. It’s of comfort to me to know that somebody else who admired Steve, yet didn’t know him personally, is shedding lots of tears over his loss. My crying comes in waves, and has ever since I heard. I just want to cuddle with Sylvester.
Miss you Steve Cash and miss Sylvester video's I wish Sylvester and the other cats and Shelby girl still make there video's. Everybody Love's Steve Cash and missed him.
Thank you for this! I too will miss the Talking Kitty Cat videos of Sylvester and company. I just got my Sylvester mug a week ago in the mail too!😕I got so many laughs from Steve and his family. My heart goes out to him and his wife.
I lost my Son 10 years ago to the same thing. One week ago I lost my cat Thomas and tried to tune in to these videos for comfort. I still love Steve he is only a victim of his illness.
Steve is going to be missed deeply. I still shed tears everytime I come across his videos. If love alone could save someone, he'd be here forever. A person feels so helpless when someone we care about is suffering as Steve did. He's gone physically, but not in spirit & never from our hearts.
I had a black cat (Jude) like Sylvester he passed away a year ago. When Steve made the video “what the kitty doesn’t like” it was like me and Jude. The video brought happiness to my life. RIP Steve...
Thank you for this. I needed to find this today. Love Steve and my fur baby passed the 22nd. I've been telling myself Steve is taking care of him. Beautiful video. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your video. Steve was a very talented, creative and imaginative man who’s videos brought so much joy to his fans around the world. My heart goes out to his wife Celia, his family, his fur babies and all his fans that loved him. Rest In Peace Steve in Heaven with your beloved Gibson 😇. The world is a sadder place without you. 💔😢 You will be missed. 💔😢 Hugs to your Calvin too. 😻
Thank you so much for this tribute to Steve Cash! He did make the world a much better place oh, and I laughed a lot! I just wonder whatever happened to Sylvester, and his dog I can't remember her name right now
That was perfectly put! Thanks for that video! Very touching and extremely accurate. Its so very unreal how stigmatic mental illness is to this day. One that no one wants to talk about it from fear of shame at the very least. Imagine keeping a secret you must hide from friends, and family. The secret that at any second could take your life, like a heart atache or stroke. Your video was just awesome! Not enough people out there understand. Thank you so much! R.I.P. Steve
What a wonderful tribute! I had a friend that left too soon in 2003. I did feel guilty that I didn't know about her fight- couldn't tell that anything was wrong when I was on the phone with her. What still breaks my heart is that she was in pain, and for whatever her reason, couldn't reach out. It saddens me that I will not have the chance to thank Steve for all the joy I have had. My family and fiance have been told "Oh, you HAVE to watch This cat video- it's HILARIOUS!" Thank you, Steve, for the gift of laughter!
Since I saw Sylvester for the very first time I adored him. The tone of his voice and the very "floral" language. Ever since I'd been following his videos and laughed my head off with that pair. I hope he got the peace he couldn't find in this world. I have a heavy heart watching all of his tributes and his kittens, he loved so much. Rest in holy peace dear Steve. You left a big void in this world and so did in our hearts.
That was the best! Thank you, and Calvin, for your spot on contribution to our healing! Though I have one of my own, I will miss Sylvester's potty mouth a lot! I love his swearing compilation the most. And his "Dear Diary", and Random kitties voice, etc, etc...Steve was a genius! I think I will get me some cuss words and Sylvester songs now!
Thank you for this beautiful, honoring tribute to Steve and surviving family and friends. As somone who worked in the mental health field, I saw first hand the debilitating effects of mental health illnes and co-occurring disorders. It is a complicated and painful, some times excrutiating, illness to live with. Medications all have side effects, and some are devastating for the person taking them. A saying comes to mind, "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
Thank you for your tribute, it put into words how all his viewers must feel. Even though I didn't know him personally it didn't matter because he got me, he understood me through his work about his pets. They are family and so I felt that Steve was a little bit too. He was just such a bright light.... one that went out way too soon.
Thank you sir, for speaking to the double standard about health issues both physical and mental. This video is a beautiful tribute to a man I believe dozens of us saw as a best friend with or without actually knowing him in person. You, like Steve, have made the world a better place by this video alone and I hope you continue to be a light during darkness
What a great tribute. I went from crying to giggling at Calvin’s reaction. Steve will be greatly missed in this household too. If only he knew how many lives he touched.
Thank you for your sharing your thoughts. Such a beautiful tribute to a man most of us never met yet we all loved. To me Steve was the awesome younger brother with all his hilarious antics and mind-blowing creative wit and humor. To say the least I’m saddened for the loss of him. I am heartbroken for Sylvester and all his other fur children who don’t understand what’s happened and don’t understand why their Daddy’s forever gone. I hurt for his wife and his family, but most of all I hurt for Steve. Rest in Peace my brother and give Gibson a big hug for me. I am certain he loves having you with him again.
It really hurt to hear. He brought so many nights of laughter on nights I wanted to just cry and cry. It made me so sad to think that he was trying to make so many people smile when he was in so much pain. Thank you, for making this. Everything you said was relevant and beautiful.
This is one of the best memorial videos I've seen. And worded so truthfully about mental illness. We should not see it as anything but a health issue like any other. Thank you sir for a job well done. I suffer bipolar depression and PTSD. Some days,despite love,things right in the world,our minds won't see it. Again thank you..... RIP STEVE🙏🏻🌈🙏🏻I know you are with Gibson.....💖🐱💖
Thank you for making this, and offering such true words. The way you shaped the final minute of your video touched me greatly, and put into even stronger resolution the happiness Steve Cash brought me (and others, I'm sure) at times when he might not have had any idea how important a smile could be for some folks on this side of the screen.
Thank you...from all of us who loved Steve & suffer from mental illness...it should never be used against someone when they get a diagnosis but rather that you have been blessed by having us share the agony we go through. Meds don't work for everyone but talking is usually the best medicine as is love & laughter. Very well put. 🙏💕🐱
Just perfect!!! I have been very sad also over Steves death and I have been praying for Sylvester and Gibbyson, and the doggie...Shelby girl! May you rest in peace Steve Cash 83....you will be sadly missrd
I cried when NP died too. He's the main reason I played drums for 25 years, and indeed to quote him, was very much part of the soundtrack of my life. Nice tribute to Steve.
THANK YOU!❤🙏🌎 I lost my brother to suicide and this was well done. Thanks for using ur platform to shine a light and well.. have Steve's and families back.
Excellent Sir you made so much sense and gave me clarity. I too said why did Steve do this? Didn't he know so many people loved him and his work. Now I understand better. It's still a Great loss. 😑 Excellent video you made.
Steve was a friend we just had not met. We shared his love of animals, especially cats. He is missed so much.
i feel exactly the same

As a cat lover and big fan of Talking Kitty Cat, I was dreading the day I would hear Sylvester had passed away. Little did I dream it would be Sylvester's dad, his voice, that we would lose first. My condolences to all Steve's friends and family. He will be missed.
That is exactly my situation, always feared about Sylvester, had not expected this....
Yes, I missed Gibson, that was a shocker. Then to hear about Steve, completely out of left field. I really thought Sylvester or Shelby would be the end of the series, not it’s creator. I hope that Steve found peace. Also that he finds out that he brought something rare and beautiful to a world of chaos and hate. I cannot count the number of times I watched the talking kitty series, or how many people I have shown, shared, or recommended it to. I hope that his family and friends (human and furry) can cope with the loss of Steve, because he left a big hole in so many hearts. Many of which he never met. Rest In Peace Steve, thank you for all that you shared with us.

Im broken after hearing about steves death.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 rest in peace steve and gibson
this was such a touching tribute. We are all lucky to have experience Steve and his talents. His talking kitty videos were something I looked forward to and enjoyed sharing them. He will be missed. Peace to his family and friends. The world is an emptier colder place now with him gone.
I will love him forever
Thank you for your beautiful, eloquent tribute to our good friend, Steve Cash. Steve, you’re missed and loved dearly. God bless.
When I first heard that he died, I actually sobbed loudly for several minutes, then cried off and on for days. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I hope that one day I'll get to meet him in Heaven. It just doesn't seem real.
@Angela Allen - I can completely relate to you. I didn’t know him, but he was like a friend. I also didn’t realize how much he meant to me until he was gone. He touched so many and brought a smile to my face and lots of laughter. I know he’s in a heavenly place. Blessings and comfort to Cecilia, Steve’s family, friends and fans.
I felt thè same way. I didn"t know Steve orrsonally but I felt like I did
All of his talling animals died with him so this is especially hard to take.
Ive known him before and after his channel rose to fame. I was speechless when i heard he killed himself. Rest easy steve.
It sent a very powerful shock through my body, when I found out, just this past Saturday, that Steve Cash was gone. I want to ask "Why did this happen"? But, as Kid Rock used to sing, "Only God knows why". That's all I can really say... except that I'm glad for the videos, and for Steve's life. He made me smile many times over, and for that, I'm thankful!
He didnt do anything to himself.
Stop
@@sarao8394 Stop
He didn’t kill him self he was shot
OMG - that was a most honest and sensitive tribute to a problem many of us face, but are afraid to admit. I thank you from the depths of my soul. I too believe he is in heaven hugging Gibson and talking things over with his mom - finally released from the pain he felt. I look forward to the day I get a chance to meet him up there.
Yes!
Same with you
Spot on
Mary Marks Me, too! I know some people on here are saying he went to hell cos he took his life,. I Don’t believe that for a second! He was sick! He lost the battle,. But he didn’t lose the war! He got the reward,. I’m sure of it!

I am completely devastated but I cannot be angry at him. I also have been suffering with depression for more than 30 years and have tried to commit suicide on 3 occasions so I totally understand why he did what did. By watching his videos certainly saved my life a number of times. Pulled me out of that dark place every time. Rest in peace Steve and thank you for the good times... May you fly away on the wings of an angel. We all loved you so dearly 💔🇿🇦👼
@Lisa E - Very well said. I feel the same way. 😢🙂
Lisa E -
Beautifully put. Nice job. It has been sad to lose a friend I never got to meet.
Wonderful video. Wonderful feedback.
Fantastic guy. Love sent out to him.
You have summed up beautifully how so many of us feel. Your comment and this wonderful wonderful tribute video have eased a little bit of the pain of losing a friend I hadn't yet had the pleasure of meeting but had the honour of knowing in a small way. Thank you both so much, and thank you Steve.
Rest in peace Steve, you earn it after your hard battle with depression.
Aponte Cruz The suicide DOES NOT get a free pass and that’s how it is whether you like it or not. You can only pray for the person and ask God to have mercy on the soul. People just don’t want to understand self-murder because that’s what suicide is- self-murder and there is a consequence for the sin. One of the TEN COMMANDMENTS is, “Thou Shall Not Kill.” Period.
@louis raya & thou shall not judge. I will pray you or a loved one never endures a second of this disease. Steve did earn peace through his daily unbeknownst to us alls struggles. My God opened His arms & took him to peaceful paradise. Because he deserved it. As all of us do. I'm going to tell you what I tell my children daily & maybe you'll hear it "if it's not nice dont say it, if it's not kind dont do it". Who are you to judge? Not cool! And no, not God..at all! Only He knows our hearts, our struggles, our imperfections, our need. Not anyone else. God bless you. Please encourage & send love if nothing else.
@@louisraya1748 You have twisted scripture and have used it to hurt people and cause GOD to be blasphemed. The Most High loves us and knows our struggles. HE does not send those people to be destroyed in the lake of fire. Mr Cash is with The FATHER GOD. Do your real Bible studies at Theseason.org or World events and the Bible. Stop spreading lies that one verse preachers have taught.
@@jenniferglosser5161 Absolutely. Our Heavenly FATHER knows when a child of HIS is struggling with a serious mental illness like depression. Mr Cash is being comforted by GOD. ps we will see him again during thr Millenial reign of YeShuah CHRIST and on a Paradise Earth. If you are curious pmease read Theseason.org and World events and the Bible. The lake of fire is only for the truly evil and those who hate despise GOD and those who follow HIM. ps GOD doesnt torture anyone in hell. Hell is the grave.
HOW DARE YOU! "YOU EARN IT"?! THAT MAN IS PROBABLY IN HELL RN!!!!
I really can't Believe Steve is Gone. I loved his videos and he always made me laugh and smile. I loved Steve's humour and Sylvester.....Gibson.....Shelby girl. I have thinking about him all day long. My thoughts are with Steve's family and the pets he left behind. We shall miss him and RUclips just won't be the same without him. Steve is with Gibson now Rip
the king I’m heart broken over the loss but I can’t help but wonder what going to happen to Sylvester, Random, Gibison, and Shelby. 😭😭🙏🏽
I am a MAJOR cat lover. I only discovered this UT channel a few months ago. I was crazy about it! I am so sorry to hear about Steve and Gibson!
God will give him peace. This is for all of his family and friends and fellow musicians. I am heart broken.
May he rest in peace.
A grounding, sincere and heartfelt tribute to Steve. Although his videos were very funny, his gift was really connecting to folks at a deep level of the heart. His energy field was enormous and he was a powerful man in his own way. May he find his peace in the other worlds. We all miss him. I can't imagine what his wife and fur children must be experiencing now. May they be guided and conforted during this difficult time.
His loss is felt by many. Prayers are with his wife and family.
Thank you. Steve Cash was a beautiful and creative person. And your tribute is lovely.
Thank you. That was a beautiful, loving & understanding tribute to Steve. 💙
A great man who will be missed by all of his fans, even those who were not actual fans of cats. He had so many talents and gave great joy to so many people who miss him dearly. God bless you Steve, and may you be happier and at peace where you are.
To add on to what you've said...I've seen a few people say that they like cats more now, or some others that named their cats after Sylvester, and yet others who specifically adopted black cats because of Steve. That last one is actually quite important as black cats are left behind more than others and unfortunately many are euthanized. So along with the laughs...he gave TANGIBLE gifts to people...and pets
He was a very talented man. I loved his videos. I used to sneak and let me granddaughter watch them with me. It was a couple of years ago. I had forgotten how raunchy they were. Oops. I messed up and told my daughter about it, then played one for her. If looks could kill. All that time I was blaming her potty mouth on her daddy. Lol.
@@michelewalburn4376 awww. I know it's funny because really overall they're very wholesome. It's just a lot of silly trash mouth back and forth (which is hilarious bc it's never TOO much.....and of course....its a cat)...and then of course...theres the catnip. I think it's funny when people say that they watch with their little kids. My Mom would NEVER. I would though (however no kids...just cats...but I would let them watch...curses won't kill anyone)
A lovely tribute. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
How can anybody do thumbs down to this tribute. Steve Cash came quite late into my life, but he gave me so much laughter. RIP Steve
Well said. Thank you for your kind words, heartfelt love & humorous ending. Very well done.
Wonderful Tribute to Steve Cash! I too have followed & loved his videos. I am 64 years old and have fought a battle with depression for at long as I can remember. Steve, Please RIP! ❤🐱❤
Lovely tribute my friend! How much joy Steve (and friends). Subbed. ❤
How could anyone give this video a thumbs down. No heart .god bless Steve
Dude! You made me cry all over again! I also never met Steve but like you, I felt like he was part of my home. My big black kitty and I would sit and watch Steve & Sylvester's antics over & over again.
RIP Steve & Gibson! You are missed
A wonderful tribute RIP Steve x Also, may I say you did a great job with Calvin, could he be a future talking kitty? He reminded me so much of Sylvester in a very early video Thank you 🙏
Thank you for your beautiful tribute. I wasn't lucky enough to meet him in person, but still feel like he is my brother. I am bi-polar, with PTSD, and we'll say etc. He had a old soul that that I feel like I completely knew. Few people in the world have that magnetism. I cry every time I think of him, sad at first then joy with a smile. Death is sad, but we must remember the happiness of his art and skill Thank you 🐾🐾🐾🐾
Very touching tribute. Thank you. And thank you Steve for making me laugh many times over!
we all miss him, i give all my respects to his family, his wife and his animals
My daughter and I were huge fans of Steve and his pets too, and we still quote the cats with our own cats all the time. I was devestated when I learned of Steve's death, felt like we lost a part of our family. Your conversation with Calvin brought fresh tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. Rest in Peace, Steve Cash.
I’ve never seen one of your videos before, but I’m in tears watching this one. This is one of the best tributes to Steve I’ve seen. You word the feelings very well. I never knew Steve but it feels like I’ve lost a friend. I actually remember being on the phone with a suicide text line and watching the Sylvester goes to rehab video to try and calm myself down. I had just gotten out of rehab myself and I really loved that video. It was the first thing to make me laugh in weeks. His videos helped me at some of the lowest points of my life and brought a lot of joy to my life. I was so saddened when I heard about what had happened. It feels raw. But it reminds me to check in with my friends and the people I love, and hold everyone just a little tighter. Thank you for this video.
Very good tribute to Steve. You are the only one on RUclips addressing mental health issues. I pray that the 700 million views he be rewarded in heaven for the joy he has given us.
Now you've got me crying. That was the most heartfelt tribute I've seen to date. Thank you for your incredible insight into mental illness. It felt like me talking. You sound like a warm and lovely man and again, I thank you. The end was just wonderful.
You are awesome! I'm crying again. My dog Henry and I watch every night to fall asleep in a happy place. We miss him as I'm sure we do. He is with Gibson waiting for his honey, Celia, Sylvester, Random, Gibbyson and GG at the Rainbow Bridge. We love you Steve and your family I give my deepest condolences.
Thanks for this vlog. I never knew Steve had passed. So Sad. I really enjoyed “ talking kitty”
Your talking cat at the end was a terrific tribute. How could anyone dislike this vlog. Regards from Australia.
Thank you for this!🤗 I feel like I'm going crazy people aren't more upset about this. I loved Steve so much and I along with my 13 year old daughter are deeply saddened. Your tribute made me feel better.💔
His GoFundMe page was still open. He was laid to rest April 24th.
*THANKS FOR THE VIDEO* 💗
Bravo. Steve was a huge part of my life even though I never met him. Sylvester was so like my own cat. Ill.miss him dearly and so will my son. Ty
Thank you for this sweet and moving tribute. I have been putting off telling Xat.
Thank you for this touching and gentle tribute. It is helping me cope with the loss of Steve. The ending is really cute.
I shed lots of tears and didn’t know him personally!! I loved Steve and his babies!
Thank you! So true how mental illness is handled! 😢
Wow........just, wow. Beautiful tribute and spot-on in so many ways. Your segment with Calvin.....Steve would be proud.
Excellent tribute! Thank you for taking the time to honor an amazing man! I too believe he is up there with Gibson and now at peace❣And your panther kitty is awesome!!
Wonderful tribute. Brought me to tears. Thank you for your kind and truthful words
Thank you so very much for your touching and totally on the mark tribute to a wonderful person we all felt we knew. You gave me a great mental image of Steve sitting with Gibson on his lap with that smile of his! I still can't believe he's gone. RIP Steve Cash
I too am gutted that Steve succumbed to his disease. I also am a mental health professional with lived experience. It sucks. I am going to share your video with my colleagues because what you said is so on point and what we have been trying to bring to light for years. If people with experiencing mental distress lived in a society where they felt safe to talk about how they were feeling and what they were experiencing without being shamed and or shunned, we would have far less needless deaths. I feel like I just lost my brother. Thank you so much for talking about mental health in a positive healthy way. We can only pray that more people understand the way you & I do and reach out to those who are in pain.
WAC Veteran Dear Wac Veteran. Please pass along the information regarding EMDR. You can do a little research on Mark Grants site. If people don't want to go to a therapist for this. It can be downloaded or purchased on CD. It's actually being used for veterans suffering from PTSD. I witnessed this in a class & use it myself. All that is needed is earphones or buds. L & R. CHANGE YOUR BRAIN, CHANGE YOUR PAIN & CALM & CONFIDENT are what I recommend. It works if you work it...Have to remind myself too. All you do is listen. Nothing shady about it. Take Care...🙏
I need this right now.
An year ago, I lost my nephew in a tragic way due to mental health.
And this week, we just had a mental health scare just recently. Nothing bad happened, my mother in law caught it before anything serious could happen.
I found myself in the process of blaming me. I was depress; feeling like I didn't learn from my nephew's death. I could have caught it before my mother in law... But i felt(and still feel) a fail.
Spirit knew I needed (and still do) comforting words.
This was brilliant and I know Steve is watching and saying yeah exactly the same words beautiful tribute thank you so much I think that could be Sylvestre's twin? 🤗🤗💞💞🐾🐾
What a lovely, heartfelt tribute. Thank you for posting, and thank you and your cat for honoring Steve at the end of the video with your own version. Sweet and well done, too. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. You have put into words what so many of us feel about Steve Cash and his incredible talent.
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry. I don’t know who he is but I will check him out. I have struggled with depression for over 50 years. I do not wish it on my worst enemy. This society isn’t good for anyone’s mental health. Omg Calvin 😂 ❤️ Blessings to Steve. May he have peace. This was an amazing tribute.
Tracy! You will love Talking Kitty Cat! Whenever I felt those blues sneaking up I got relief from a dose of Sylvester for sure. Stay safe. Hope you like the videos as much as I did and thanks again I sense dragon for sharing this tribute!
You are truly in for a treat! Some how this one man and his kitties along with Shelby girl his dog, has made an incredible impact on tons of people he never met. He had a gift and I am so thankful he shared it❤
You are going to grow to love Steve just like we all do. I have never met him either, but sat and watched him with my grandson over and over again, we did. My grandson told me what happened when we were out grocery shopping the other day. It broke my heart. I felt like I had lost a best friend too. I shed tears right there in the store. I wish I would've had the chance to meet him. He was a talented musician too.
I just have to urge you to please watch some of the Talking Kitty Cat videos. They're on avg 3-5 minutes long but you'll what I they were longer. Then you'll understand his appeal.
Every single time I watch his very first talking kitty cat video I have a wide smile on my face to see Sylvester talking, just like the first time. I still want to believe it's true and now watch it with tears in my eyes and still smiling too. I hope Steve worked it all out on the other side, but damn we are gonna miss him.
I will miss Mr. Cash so very much. Love to his family love to his cats may he find peace now
Beautifully said! Thank you for sharing your perspective on Steve’s illness. My husband had mental illness & passed away in November. I discovered Steve’s Talking Kitty videos right after my husband passed away. Steve’s videos were the one thing that cheered me up. I binged watched them with my daughter. We both felt like my deceased husband was watching with us. Sylvester is the spitting image of my talkative cat Panther who lived to age 18. The one fang hanging down & everything. My husband loved Panther and all cats. So Steve has a special place in my heart. I heard Steve say he suffered from Bi-polar and was wondering how Steve was doing with the corona virus panic. I had a feeling that he might take his life. I was hoping I was wrong & then the news came on RUclips. 😥💙
I loved Steve's Cat Sylvester so much I got my own black cat and he's just as sassy and self-centered as Sylvester.
RIP Steve and thank you for your many hours of Wonderful talking cat videos.
Thats awesome!
Beautifully done. It’s of comfort to me to know that somebody else who admired Steve, yet didn’t know him personally, is shedding lots of tears over his loss. My crying comes in waves, and has ever since I heard. I just want to cuddle with Sylvester.
Me too.
I miss him so bad 😭😭fly with the angels my friend R.I.P
Thank you. His passing has deeply effected me. He will be missed.
I too cried when Steve died. I loved his work. I'm from Scotland.
Miss you Steve Cash and miss Sylvester video's I wish Sylvester and the other cats and Shelby girl still make there video's. Everybody Love's Steve Cash and missed him.
Thank you for this! I too will miss the Talking Kitty Cat videos of Sylvester and company. I just got my Sylvester mug a week ago in the mail too!😕I got so many laughs from Steve and his family. My heart goes out to him and his wife.
I lost my Son 10 years ago to the same thing. One week ago I lost my cat Thomas and tried to tune in to these videos for comfort. I still love Steve he is only a victim of his illness.
Steve touched so many lives he was an amazing person he’ll be missed xx
Thank You for making this beautiful tribute to Steve Cash, He Touched Many Lives through his Art .❤️🌹🙏
Steve is going to be missed deeply. I still shed tears everytime I come across his videos. If love alone could save someone, he'd be here forever. A person feels so helpless when someone we care about is suffering as Steve did. He's gone physically, but not in spirit & never from our hearts.
I had a black cat (Jude) like Sylvester he passed away a year ago. When Steve made the video “what the kitty doesn’t like” it was like me and Jude. The video brought happiness to my life. RIP Steve...
That was a sweet and touching tribute, as one of Steve's fans I thank you.
Thank you for this. I needed to find this today. Love Steve and my fur baby passed the 22nd. I've been telling myself Steve is taking care of him. Beautiful video. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your video. Steve was a very talented, creative and imaginative man who’s videos brought so much joy to his fans around the world. My heart goes out to his wife Celia, his family, his fur babies and all his fans that loved him. Rest In Peace Steve in Heaven with your beloved Gibson 😇. The world is a sadder place without you. 💔😢 You will be missed. 💔😢 Hugs to your Calvin too. 😻
Thank you so much for this tribute to Steve Cash! He did make the world a much better place oh, and I laughed a lot! I just wonder whatever happened to Sylvester, and his dog I can't remember her name right now
That was perfectly put! Thanks for that video! Very touching and extremely accurate. Its so very unreal how stigmatic mental illness is to this day. One that no one wants to talk about it from fear of shame at the very least. Imagine keeping a secret you must hide from friends, and family. The secret that at any second could take your life, like a heart atache or stroke. Your video was just awesome! Not enough people out there understand.
Thank you so much!
R.I.P. Steve
Very thoughtful tribute, thank you for this....we all needed this.
What a wonderful tribute! I had a friend that left too soon in 2003. I did feel guilty that I didn't know about her fight- couldn't tell that anything was wrong when I was on the phone with her. What still breaks my heart is that she was in pain, and for whatever her reason, couldn't reach out. It saddens me that I will not have the chance to thank Steve for all the joy I have had. My family and fiance have been told "Oh, you HAVE to watch This cat video- it's HILARIOUS!" Thank you, Steve, for the gift of laughter!
Since I saw Sylvester for the very first time I adored him. The tone of his voice and the very "floral" language. Ever since I'd been following his videos and laughed my head off with that pair. I hope he got the peace he couldn't find in this world. I have a heavy heart watching all of his tributes and his kittens, he loved so much. Rest in holy peace dear Steve. You left a big void in this world and so did in our hearts.
Very well said. The loss of Steve has made the world a dimmer place. Thank you for your tribute and give Calvin some extra nip. :)
Great tribute. Well done. I think Steve had the voice of an angel and he will be recruited in heaven to sing in the choir.
Mental illness is soooo difficult!It is very hard to balance the brain.This guy was so talented!May your next life be peaceful!!😇😇😇😇😇
That was the best! Thank you, and Calvin, for your spot on contribution to our healing! Though I have one of my own, I will miss Sylvester's potty mouth a lot! I love his swearing compilation the most. And his "Dear Diary", and Random kitties voice, etc, etc...Steve was a genius! I think I will get me some cuss words and Sylvester songs now!
I loved it when Sylvester wrote in his diary too.
This is by far the best tribute video to Steve Cash's memory that I have heard so far! I loved everything you said
Thank you for this beautiful, honoring tribute to Steve and surviving family and friends. As somone who worked in the mental health field, I saw first hand the debilitating effects of mental health illnes and co-occurring disorders. It is a complicated and painful, some times excrutiating, illness to live with. Medications all have side effects, and some are devastating for the person taking them. A saying comes to mind, "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
Thank you for your tribute, it put into words how all his viewers must feel. Even though I didn't know him personally it didn't matter because he got me, he understood me through his work about his pets. They are family and so I felt that Steve was a little bit too. He was just such a bright light.... one that went out way too soon.
Thank you sir, for speaking to the double standard about health issues both physical and mental. This video is a beautiful tribute to a man I believe dozens of us saw as a best friend with or without actually knowing him in person. You, like Steve, have made the world a better place by this video alone and I hope you continue to be a light during darkness
Thank you for a beautiful tribute. I did shed tears when I heard he passed away. Thank you for sharing. He was a friend to all of us.
Thank you for posting that. Very touching, and true.I'm tearing up...
What a great tribute. I went from crying to giggling at Calvin’s reaction. Steve will be greatly missed in this household too. If only he knew how many lives he touched.
Thank you for your sharing your thoughts. Such a beautiful tribute to a man most of us never met yet we all loved. To me Steve was the awesome younger brother with all his hilarious antics and mind-blowing creative wit and humor.
To say the least I’m saddened for the loss of him.
I am heartbroken for Sylvester and all his other fur children who don’t understand what’s happened and don’t understand why their Daddy’s forever gone. I hurt for his wife and his family, but most of all I hurt for Steve.
Rest in Peace my brother and give Gibson a big hug for me. I am certain he loves having you with him again.
Thank you for making this tribute. I can tell that you, just like the rest of us, have taken this pretty hard. R.I.P. Steve. We will miss you.
It really hurt to hear. He brought so many nights of laughter on nights I wanted to just cry and cry. It made me so sad to think that he was trying to make so many people smile when he was in so much pain. Thank you, for making this. Everything you said was relevant and beautiful.
This is one of the best memorial videos I've seen. And worded so truthfully about mental illness. We should not see it as anything but a health issue like any other.
Thank you sir for a job well done.
I suffer bipolar depression and PTSD. Some days,despite love,things right in the world,our minds won't see it.
Again thank you.....
RIP STEVE🙏🏻🌈🙏🏻I know you are with Gibson.....💖🐱💖
Thank you for making this, and offering such true words. The way you shaped the final minute of your video touched me greatly, and put into even stronger resolution the happiness Steve Cash brought me (and others, I'm sure) at times when he might not have had any idea how important a smile could be for some folks on this side of the screen.
He’s amazing and I loved him. The voice behind Sylvester and random kitty. The world is less without him. Prayers for his family.
Thank you...from all of us who loved Steve & suffer from mental illness...it should never be used against someone when they get a diagnosis but rather that you have been blessed by having us share the agony we go through. Meds don't work for everyone but talking is usually the best medicine as is love & laughter. Very well put. 🙏💕🐱
Thank for this HONESTY.
It needs to be heard & applied
#AGREED #TRUTH
👏❤✌🙏
Hi, I cryed very hard to. Steve was an amazing person. Bless you!💙🐈💙
He was such a special person. He will be missed by so many! Rest in beautiful peace
Just perfect!!! I have been very sad also over Steves death and I have been praying for Sylvester and Gibbyson, and the doggie...Shelby girl! May you rest in peace Steve Cash 83....you will be sadly missrd
I cried when NP died too. He's the main reason I played drums for 25 years, and indeed to quote him, was very much part of the soundtrack of my life. Nice tribute to Steve.
At least we still have the music and the videos.
THANK YOU!❤🙏🌎 I lost my brother to suicide and this was well done. Thanks for using ur platform to shine a light and well.. have Steve's and families back.
Nice tribute, heart felt and well done.
This is an absolutely awesome tribute. I couldn't agree more with your statements. Your riff on Sylvester with your own kitty Calvin is excellent.
What a beautiful tribute. It is still hard to believe. His humor got me through some very dark times. RIP Steve, you deserve it.
Excellent Sir you made so much sense and gave me clarity. I too said why did Steve do this? Didn't he know so many people loved him and his work. Now I understand better. It's still a Great loss. 😑 Excellent video you made.
