I don't know if this is the right thing to do, and I'm so sorry if not.

catthiefkeith passed away today.

I know there are mumsnetters who know her know how amazing she is, and I just wanted to raise a glass to her memory on here, where she brought a smile to so many faces with her stories of her mad life.

Rest in peace lovely lady.

I too would like to donate please. Desperately sad and a cause well worth giving to.

God, utterly dreadful news Sad

So, so sorry to hear this, she was such a lovely, funny vibrant poster.

Sympathies to her family and friends Flowers

RIP CatThiefKeith (I can't believe I'm actually typing that Sad)

Am just about to PM Head as she's the latest, please let me know if I've missed anyone.
We weren't real life friends, just fb acquaintances and Janet and Roy exchangers, and MN comrades.

Headhitspillow · 19/08/2017 22:25

I would also very much like to donate if anyone could DM me.

So sad to hear.

I'd also like to donate.

JanQuadrantVincent · 19/08/2017 22:18

So very sad to hear this news, CTK was a name a frequently recognised. Her ability to tell a tale in an entertaining way was unparalleled on mumsnet.

RIP and condolences to her family.

@CakeNinja please can you dm the link to me if you can't post? I'd like to donate

Degustibusnonestdisputandem1 · 19/08/2017 22:05

Ffs. This is a bazillion kinds of fucked. I generally lurk on here but CTK was someone I really admired from afar. I've myself (barely) survived a double whammy of meningitis and encephalitis - it's such a massive fucker of a thing (not sorry for the swears....) 😢

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 19/08/2017 21:59

Could you dm it to me please, I'd like to donate

CakeNinja · 19/08/2017 21:59

I'll send a message to check...

CakeNinja · 19/08/2017 21:58

Don't know if I should?

susurration · 19/08/2017 21:57

What sad news :(

CakeNinja · 19/08/2017 21:57

And I'm still in shock. Can't believe someone so vibrant who lived life to the full is no longer there. She will leave such a void in her circle. Devastated for her family and friends who will no doubt struggle to comprehend all of this.

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 19/08/2017 21:56

Hi Cake, I've not seen a link for that, can you post it please?

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 19/08/2017 21:56

@justinemumsnet Please can we have something to commemorate CTK? Perhaps as some have suggested a round up of the best threads. She really stood out to many including myself as being funny, sharp, warm hearted, insightful and a familiar face to mumsnetters.

CakeNinja · 19/08/2017 21:55

Research meningitis Hmm

CakeNinja · 19/08/2017 21:55

She has a justgiving page that has been linked to on facebook in order to search meningitis, has this been shared here already?

BastardGoDarkly · 19/08/2017 21:53

That's a great idea dementedma please hq?

sheldonesque · 19/08/2017 21:53

RIP CTK. You were the cat's nuts. Just seeing your name on a thread made me smile.

Meningitis took my aunt. Mum hasn't been the same since.

My sincere condolences to those who love you Sad Flowers

dementedma · 19/08/2017 21:49

MNHQ can we have a tribute thread please, featuring the best of CTK who brought such laughter to so many of us?

AllThatGlistensIs · 19/08/2017 21:44

My god. Away busy in RL and clicked on tonight thinking this was a troll thread, then realising as I saw fellow regulars post with increasing horror that it wasn't a wind up.

Absolutely stunned. Spent more years than I care to remember laughing at Cats threads. Deeply, deeply shocked and saddened.

peanut2017 · 19/08/2017 21:44

Very sad news!
