What it’s like being a Childless Cat Lady in New York City (A vlog)

If you've ever been curious about what it's like being a childless cat lady living alone in a big city like NYC, look no further. This is my life, continuing on from my last vlog. I have two adorable cats (I'm biased) Gordo & Deli that bring so much light to my life. And contrary to the title and thumbnail, this video does not revolve completely around cats or pondering about why I am still single etc. I, like most other proud cat ladies, are busy thinking about other things. This video is in no way trying to shame those who do have kids and are married - I love that for ya!!! 💓

Hahaha the title of this video makes me laugh 😆childless cat ladies UNITE!!! This video picks up where my last one left off 💓 Have a great weekend y'all!

''life seems more doable to me when i watch someone else live it'' this is exactly why i watch your vlogs. They show a realistic life, not the overly luxurious life full of travel and over consumption. It feels like i can actually relate to you and be like: well if chelsea is doing dishes, i might as well start doing mine now too then...😂
Love u girl, see you next time!!!✨💅🏻

The weekend doesn't start until we get a Chelsea, Gordo and Deli vlog :)

I'm an almost 40 y/o guy, single, no cats but I'm considering getting a dog. I'm not opposed to a relationship, or even children, but I rather like my life and I don't need someone else to make me feel complete. If someone comes along that's special enough for me to change my life for, great. If not, also great! I have wonderful family and friends, and I'm perfectly happy to continue on the same path because I'm happy! No one should live their life based on what they're "supposed" to do, just do what makes you happy and keep it moving!

Hey girl! Check if your apartment unit was registered with the city for rent stabilization like the other units you mentioned. You can do this online, request the rental history. If they charged you market rate rent this past year when the unit was actually stabilized, you may be able to get reimbursed, check it out in case! People in my building have done it and won

Using the roller to get the cat hair off and then immediately picking up the cat is peak cat lady behavior 😄

I think life is just messy, and it’s especially messy for those of us who are forging our own paths. I’m in my 50s and childless, never married (no pets at the moment, but I still fall into the category, clearly!) and I’m constantly trying to figure out what the rules of my own life are—society isn’t set up to acknowledge the existence of women like me, and I’m aware of the fact that I’ve bypassed many of the assumed expectations for what a “normal” adult life looks like. I don’t think there’s ever one moment where everything falls into place. Instead it’s a series of smaller moments of discovery and growth combined with new challenges (and old ones resurfacing). All any of us can do is just keep going, one day at a time.

I have two 4 month old kitties as well! Rescued them from a hoarding situation. Can I just say… a steel litter box is a GAME CHANGER! Seriously! Now more stuck on pee or smell! I can’t even remember the last time I actually scrubbed it and we use the same litter.

Fellow childless cat lady here! I actually just restarted my old YouTube channel about 5 weeks ago and my niche is all about cats and the cat lady life. I'm trying to find fellow cat ladies with YouTube channels and came across your channel. I love your content! It's so open and honest. I have some work to do before I will be as effortlessly comfortable in front of the camera as you 😆

I’m one minute in and I just got the overwhelming feeling that you’re going to be BIG Chelsea! In some way. Your personality is magnetic. I love it.

The last part of the video is amazing. I love the scene at the beach and the background talk.

[FeeCurious]

A cosy autumn evening, the perfect pairing for a Chelsea vlog 🍂☕ have a lovely weekend, queen! And remember to treat yourself with as much affection and attention as we give the other people we love 💕

[modaz]

Your life isn’t messy, it’s just life. I’ve never thought of it that way anyway. Some people just like to show the picture perfect part of it.
❤️🇸🇪❤️

I absolutely love how you do not glorify every moment of your videos, life is messy at times and that is ok!

Keep up the great work and congratulations on the rental renewal.

Childless Cat Lady here, living alone also. Which is both good and not good, as you demonstrate. Love the ocean footage at the end of this Vlog. Gordo and Delia are living up to my description of kittens as small four legged terrorists (mine are 18 and 10, still rule my universe.)

About your rent increase…yes, some increases are insane. Basically my rent has increased by about 50% in four years. Fixed income means that’s a huge problem. However, in this area of the Mid-Atlantic states, deposits have more than tripled, and monthly rent is actually equal to or more than my current rent. On the other hand, I love this apartment, the maintenance people are great, I get natural light for most of the day, and I’m about 10 minutes from everything I need. There’s always trade offs.

Enjoy your Vlog so much, thank you for being so honest and open. It’s fun to see an unromantized view of life in NYC. Thank you.

I absolutely love the under-the-chin angles. Thank you for making what feels like "real" content.

As a fellow New Yorker, you can look up whether your unit is meant to be rent stabilized, seems like something fishy might have been going on - make sure they aren’t over-charging you! It is normal for only certain units to be rent-stabilized in buildings and not necessarily the whole building though.

that way of viewing your own life is exactly what i needed to hear. I often feel like I don’t know myself and feel like I’m drifting. School is easy, friends are there, family is there. What does a drifting character need? I don’t know but I’m gonna find out. Also the cats are so cute!

[Doriane_Oski]

I loove watching your videos Chelsea ! You’re my little safe place here on YT. I love your personality, your realness and simplicity. Please don’t changeeee ❤

[thatbapa]

I am not currently owned by a feline, so I live vicariously through you, Deli and Gordo ❤ You guys are cuties through and through!
