Bereavement of mumsnetter Catthiefkeith

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.

So sad. Love to family and friends.
Always thought CTK made life more fun.

unlucky83 · 19/08/2017 21:40

I had a soft spot for her user name (long story but I acquired a (female) cat named Keith...) so noticed her posts. (I remember the cake one!)

Shocked, so sudden and it is so sad ...my thoughts are with her family and friends.
RIP CTK.

DontTakeItForGranite · 19/08/2017 21:33

How unspeakably tragic. She had such a way with words and I really enjoyed reading her posts. My thoughts, like everyone else's, are with her loved ones.

cleanasawhistle · 19/08/2017 21:32

So sorry to hear the sad news...RIP CTK

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 19/08/2017 21:31

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this. I didn't know catthiefkeith IRL but looked forward to her tales of an extraordinary life.

HarryDresdensLeatherDuster · 19/08/2017 21:27

I read this yesterday and just couldn't quite accept it. I have never met her and never 'talked' to her on here but I have read many, many of her words. and this floored me. From her posts on here she seemed so vibrant and open and equipped with an outstanding sense of humour.

My thoughts are with her friends and family, especially her baby daughter. One of life's 'little lights' has definitely gone out.

Queenofthestress · 19/08/2017 21:27

Oh my god, my condolences to her DH, DD and family
One of the few posters who helped me get away from my abusive ex DP and I'll never forget about that

SheSaidHeSaid · 19/08/2017 21:24

Oh god. I'm shocked. So sad and will toast a drink to her tonight.

GrannyD57 · 19/08/2017 21:21

Funny lady. Life is dimmer without her. So sad she was so young

SharonStrzelecki · 19/08/2017 21:15

I'm so sad to read this tonight. She was one of the few posters whose name I looked out for as I loved reading her posts, she had such a brilliant way with words.
Thinking of her friends and family now, especially her DH and DD.

mathanxiety · 19/08/2017 21:12

Such sad news. She was a lovely woman with a beautiful spirit.

Sincerest sympathy to her husband and little girl.

Sad Flowers
PringlesInMyPants · 19/08/2017 21:12

Flowers to friends and family.

I wish we could search by 'threads started by' - could Mumsnet maybe do this for CatThief as a tribute to her?

derxa · 19/08/2017 21:11

As DS would say, 'She's one of the better ones.'

SasBel · 19/08/2017 21:05

Condolences to the family.
Definitely up for making squares with the Woollyhugs crew.

She will be missed.

PickledLilly · 19/08/2017 21:04

I am so, so sad to hear this news.

KavvLar · 19/08/2017 21:03

Very very sad to hear this news. I always had a soft spot for her posts and found her hugely entertaining. My condolences to her family.

Twickerhun · 19/08/2017 20:59

I'm crying a few tears for her family right now. Much love to all those who knew and loved her.
Rest in peace.

MammaTJ · 19/08/2017 20:58

RIP CTK!

This is such a shock and I didn't really 'know' her apart from on here. She was awesome!

PlopGoesTheWeasel · 19/08/2017 20:57

Very sad to hear this news - CatThiefKeith was one of my favourite posters, she always made me roar with laughter. My thoughts go out to her family Flowers

I would love to read the balcony/scabby cat thread again but can't find it, unfortunately. I wonder if MNHQ would be willing to put it into Classics?

tiredbutFINE · 19/08/2017 20:57

To any friends or family, you have my condolences. She posted some hilarious and smart posts. I also recall she stole a rabbit IRL once as well as it was being neglected? She will be missed x

NerrSnerr · 19/08/2017 20:57

Thinking of everyone who knew her. As many others she made me smile, I know someone like her who always gets into predicaments. That picture of her cake made me laugh. RIP.

shuttheblinds · 19/08/2017 20:50

So sad to read this. Catthiefkeith was such a lovely poster. Her posts always made me laugh. Thoughts are with her DH and DD xx

hedwig2001 · 19/08/2017 20:50

😿 Farewell CTK

ComedyofTerrors · 19/08/2017 20:45

RIP KTC and sincere condolences to her family and friends. The world will be a sadder place with her passing

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 19/08/2017 20:42

Golden thank you for posting that photo. I know we don't feel like laughing but it sums up her sense of humour!

CTK will be missed so much on MN, but my goodness, her nearest and dearest will be left with such a gaping hole in their lives. Flowers to all of them.
