R.I.P. Steve Cash (November 14, 1979 - April 16, 2020)
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
Steve Cash was found dead at age 40 in his Nampa, Idaho home on April 16. Police decided it was suicide by gunshot wound to his chest. He left no note. He had bipolar disease and had recently written on social media that he was on a manic high. I guess it crashed.
He was a smart, funny, very talented young man.
Millions knew him as stevecash83 -- and knew his "talking cats," the profane, foul-mouthed Sylvester and the sweet and shy Gibson, named for Cash's favorite guitar.
From People Magazine:
"Cash, who was also a musician, launched his YouTube channel in 2007 and amassed more than 770 million views over the years.
His "Talking Kitty Cat" series, in which he'd engage in funny "conversations" and situations with his cat Sylvester, featured 69 different videos — the first of which was shared in 2008. Cash uploaded the latest video in December."
Mischka again.
His very first Sylvester The Cat video was an international news "comedy bit" hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjZrUn03kXI (just over a minute): "Hilarious footage of my cat getting angry and swearing at me when I tried to wake him up." Every channel ran it (and had to bleep it).
Sylvester must be almost 20 by now, but I was watching the videos when he was a kitten. "The Mean(er) Kitty" song was a take-off on the probably-most-famous-cat-video "The Mean Kitty Song." I like that one plenty, but Steve Cash captured me and a million other fans with his Talking Sylvester series, which included really difficult puzzles and mysteries in the plot lines (kidnappings? murder? real "Golden Hare" material), as well as stand-alone vids, all of which were generally no more than 2 minutes long, and contained fun weird effects and CGI. The Singing Cat videos are must-sees. He said in an interview that he wanted to be known as a rocking singer (and he played guitar and sang very well), but it was Sylvester who made him famous.
Possibly his best-known Kitty Song is "Kitty Doesn't Like" (2:15 minutes), a fast-driving song about all the things Sylvester doesn't like.
Sylvester is surely sad, too.
Thank you all for letting me indulge myself. Now I can say goodbye to the great guitarist Kitty Master.
