Steve Cash’s Wife Celia Appeared in His Early YouTube Videos

Celia DeCosta Cash is the wife of YouTube star Steve Cash. On April 17, she wrote on Facebook that her husband died. Steve was best known to his nearly 2.5 million fans as the star behind the “Talking Kitty Cat” videos. He was 40 years old.

“I just lost my best friend, my sidekick, my lover, my mentor, my absolute everything. It hurts me to share this. Please understand, give the family time to grieve, but know that Steve is no longer in pain,” Celia wrote.

In September, Cash talked about his battle with mental illness, as noted by TMZ. When a fan said, “You’ve been so active on social media lately that at first I thought you were hacked.” He answered back, “Nah, just bipolar. I’m on a manic up right now. When I go back into depression I’ll vacate everything.”

Around the same time, Celia posted about both of them being sick. “Not cool!! Not cool, when we’re ALL sick in the house. Who’s going to take care of my Baby aka Steve Cash?” she wrote in September. “Who’s going to take care of me? Lol. We’re so screwed! Send positive vibes. Thank you everyone!!”

Residents of Idaho, Celia liked to share pictures of herself with Steve. Most of her recent pictures of Facebook show the couple posing together near the water.

Celia has her own YouTube channel, which boasts over 400 followers. The two pages she subscribes to are Steve’s blog and “Talking Kitty Cat.” Celia sometimes used the page, which she started in 2010, to promote Steve’s content.

Although Steve has millions of followers, Celia largely stayed out of the limelight. She didn’t often participate in his videos and kept a lower profile online. She did, however, appear in some of his earlier videos. According to Fandom, she appeared in clips like Computer Raps and Girl has a nervous breakdown over tumbleweeds.
