Sylvester

**"NOOOOOOO!"**

*This page contains foul language!*

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!"

- Sylvester telling Shelby to get out of the room.

**Sylvester Cash**, **(October 31, 2007 - December 10, 2020)** simply referred to as **Sylvester**, was the titular main protagonist and occasional antagonist of Steve Cash's YouTube series *Talking Kitty Cat*, in which he has appeared in all episodes since it's debut in 2008.

## Biography

According to the series fictional storyline, Sylvester's first owner was an old lady named Edna, who he lived with from April 29th, 1992 (the first time he was born) until he got hit by a car and died in 2000.

After he was reincarnated, his second and favourite owner was Todd McNabb, but only lived with him until 2 years old, dying from a fatal overdose of catnip (that he's still addicted to). Later reincarnated again (on Halloween, October 31st, 2007), was adopted by Steve.

### **Real Life**

Sylvester's first owner, Todd, put an ad on Craigslist for some kittens, which is how Steve got him to be raised since Sylvester's youngest years.

Sylvester grew up with Steve and his other cat, Ibanez, until Ibanez disappears in December of 2008. Steve, saddened by the fact that one of his pets went missing, asked his co-worker and friend Jimmy for a small dog as Jimmy's dog was having puppies.

The puppy Steve chose was Shelby, who was the first pet Steve adopted after Sylvester, followed by Gibson, Random Kitty, Gibbyson, and GG. With all of them, Sylvester has a love-hate relationship.

After Steve Cash passed away, Sylvester moved in with Steve's wife. Shelby moved in with Darcy the guitarist for Pause For The Cause who has another black lab that seems to get along with Shelby.

Later, it is revealed that sadly, Sylvester passed away on December 10, 2020, seven months after his previous owner passed away.

## Personality

Most of the time, Sylvester seems like a grumpy and cynical cat that only cares about himself and is always trying to get rid of the other animals in the house he lives, but sometimes, in a hidden way, shows compassion for his family.

### **Preferences & Fears**

* Sylvester likes: eat wet food, his birthday cake, tuna, and hot dogs; writing in his diary; catnip; swearing; attack/scare other cats and/or kittens; insult Shelby and calling her a bitch; tell lies; Todd; petting sessions; watch the *Sabrina The Teenage Witch* series; being left alone.
* Sylvester dislikes: being told what to do; any kind of dry cat food; be grounded from wet cat food or catnip; most of the other animals; Shelby; when Steve plays his guitar and pets him too fast or from his tail to his head; the hell; Steve in general; the world; being called "Rufus"; take trips inside the car; the pound; the vet; the "Kitty Doesn't Like" song; be teased with a string; the vacuum; be on camera; moving house; Missy; Steve's Death; getting fired.
* Sylvester's fears: penguins; Steve getting mad and booming at him; vacuums; the chance of being grounded forever; going back to the pound.

## Abilities

Sylvester skills include:

* He is capable of opening doors and wet food cans
* Speech: like a human being, he's able to speak short sentences (as he prefers) or long ones.
* Reading: he's pretty much literate.
* Writing: He can write, but it looks like scribbles to anyone but him, shown when Steve finds his diary. He also lacks knowledge of how to write the correct name of a month and how many days it has.
* Basic Technological Knowledge: he's able to use smartphones and computers, though his typing is extremely hard to figure out.
* Musical Talent: not only he can sing but also create music. As a matter effect, he has one named "Stupid, Stupid World".
* Supernatural Powers: he possesses telekinetic powers as shown in his diary series, where he lifts Gibson into the air, then letting him down intentionally.

## Relationships

* Steve: Sylvester thinks of Steve as his slave and though while he often insults him, it is made apparent that he clearly has a sense of respect and love for Steve, even though he makes it his best effort to hide it.
* Ibanez: Ibanez is arguably the only other cat that Sylvester has considered as a friend. Though in their first video together it is made apparent that he was unhappy in Ibanez's presence, in his second (and last) appearance in the video "Cream of Corndog", Sylvester has clearly accepted Ibanez and become friends with him. They can be seen cuddling and lying together. In Sylvester's blog post "Quick Post", it is made clear that he and Ibanez are good friends. They had plans to run away to live with Todd together. Ibanez, however, made it to Todd's house before Sylvester, who ultimately did not get the chance to go. It is possible that Sylvester now holds a grudge against him for it.
* Shelby: He has a strong hatred for Shelby, due to the fact that she is a dog. He makes several attempts to get rid of the dog and is openly rude and a bully towards her.
* Gibson: On the surface, Sylvester displayed that he didn't particularly like Gibson. He often was fighting with him and planning ways in which to dispose of him in his diary. However, it is theorized that Sylvester did in fact like Gibson, but hid his feelings so that he would not grow close to him and risk losing him as he had lost Ibanez. This can be supported by the fact that Sylvester bothered to guide Steve to Todd's house just to save Gibson, never explaining why, though this can also be seen as a chance of escaping on Sylvester's part.
* Izzy: Sylvester has a strong hatred of Izzy as she is a kitten.
* Random Kitty: As made clear when meeting Izzy, Sylvester has a strong hatred for kittens. This is supported by Random's introduction to Sylvester (and later, when he attempts to scare all of her and Gibson's children) Sylvester has never made any crystal clear moves to indicate that he likes or hates Random, though was once caught humping her when told he should try and act more like a father figure for her son, Gibbyson.
* Gibbyson: While he keeps an outlook of dislike over him as he does with all others, it is possible that Sylvester feels like a stepfather to Gibbyson, and thus feels a responsibility to look after him.
* GG: He has the usual love-hate relationship with her since she was a kitten.
* Todd: He clearly loves and respects him, often speaking of him highly and constantly wishing to be with him.
* Missy: He thinks her as the "woman of his dreams", but their relationship was short-lived after his date with her went poorly. According to him, Missy was psychotic so he eventually had had enough of her attitude, and, after a violent fight, he kicked her out of the house.
* Celia: It is unknown what relationship he and his new owner are in.

## Trivia

* Sylvester was recorded by Steve in his early years.
	+ In his blog, he says that Steve has been violating his privacy.
* Since he's voiced by Steve, his voice is basically Steve's except altered.
* He has never said a full sentence on camera.
	+ The only time he says full sentences is when Steve isn't near filming him directly.
* He has an underbite.
* It is possible, but not likely, that he and Ibanez grew up to be pals, but was cut short once Ibanez disappeared. This is partly why Sylvester is selfish and rude around the others.
* When Steve died, it is unknown if he was aware or upset about his slave's death. It's also unknown who will take Steve's place to voice him, or even if the Talking Kitty Cat series will continue. However, with Sylvester’s upsetting demise on the 10th of December in 2020, this puts an end to the series. Making the episode Talking Kitty Cat 69 Sylvester goes to Court the series finale.
* He hates dogs
* He is the oldest pet that Steve adopted
