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.

Ages ago I was reading a thread where people were posting pictures of beautiful cakes they had made... up pops this one from Ctk. She will be missed and remembered.

RIP Ctk Flowers

God this is awful. Meningitis is a sneaky fucking cunt Sad I too read her post 6 days ago about going deaf in her ear and now see that is a symptom. Is that the only kind of thing the human body can show us symptom-wise before it's too late?! I can't believe someone so young and full of life is gone. So sorry to her family.

Rest in peace CatThiefKeith Flowers

Such sad news, thinking of her DH and DD.

I was reading through some of her old posts this morning. Her voice and personality really comes across in them.

I had an idea. Maybe someone on MN who knows her family in real life could print out her threads and keep them to give her daughter when she is grown up? She might like to read them when she is older.

RaeSkywalker · 19/08/2017 19:38

So sorry to hear this. Thinking of her loved ones.

Just echoing all the pp so tragic RIP Cattheifkeith.
As many posters have said, always recognised her name & such a lovely sense of the ridiculous, remember her posting about seeing her 'Wendy' at a local fete & nearly shooting her with a bow & arrow.
Sincere condolences to her family & all friends.

Tigerlovingall · 19/08/2017 18:59

My condolences too to her family and raising a Wine to a lovely lovely woman who delighted me with her tales. Shocking news. Flowers

Mooey89 · 19/08/2017 18:51

Oh my god, this is so awful! I remember cattheif, what an awful, tragic shock!
Love to her family at this awful, horrible time.

fourquenelles · 19/08/2017 18:49

Raising a glass in a tent (that I am not trapped in). Met her just the once and she was a truly lovely woman who lived life to the full. A good one taken far too soon.

DMCWelshCakes · 19/08/2017 18:24

Shitting hell that's awful!

Deepest sympathies to MrCatThief and MiniCatThief and to all those who knew her in RL.

Her posts were always awesome & MN will be a drearier place without her.

She was lovely. It's rare these days to see familiar posters, she will be missed.

Flowers Love and condolences to her family and friends. Such sad news.

VforVienetta · 19/08/2017 17:45

Incredibly sad news, so so sorry to hear it.
She made me smile and guffaw on countless occasions.
RIP Keith. Flowers

Dumbledoresgirl · 19/08/2017 17:31

This Mumsnet world has become so big and so impersonal since the days when I was a frequent poster, but even though I rarely post now and the boards are full of anonymous posters, CatThiefKeith was a name I recognised and a poster whose life shone through the computer screen. I particularly enjoyed her contributions to the pet threads. I am deeply shocked to read of her sudden death. Condolence to her family and friends.

Tiredemma · 19/08/2017 17:27

So sad to read this news on here. She was absolutely just one of the funniest Mnetters with a fabulous sense of humour.

RIP CTK Sad

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 19/08/2017 17:27

My deepest sympathies to Cat's family and friends.
It's heartbreaking😢
I recognise the name but didn't know her.

Hugs to everyone x

AnnetteCurtains · 19/08/2017 17:25

That's so sad , my heart goes out to her family

Atenco · 19/08/2017 17:20

What a terrible loss for everyone who knew her and even for me who just loved reading her posts. Flowers

Mutiny0nTheBunty · 19/08/2017 17:10

OMG awful awful news. One of the few names around here that I still recognise from the old days. Very much missed.

Lots of love CTK

Rowgtfc72 · 19/08/2017 17:01

How sad.
Always knew when CTK posted we were in for a good laugh.

My thought are with her family and friends and will raise a glass (or two) later.

A mangy cat emoji would be brilliant HQ

RIP CatThiefKeith - love and thoughts to her family at this very sad time.

Giggorata · 19/08/2017 16:56

So sorry to hear such dreadful news. Her family and friends are in my thoughts.

Treasures · 19/08/2017 16:51

Oh no! Poor CatThief that's so sad. Her threads always used to make me laugh so I'd always look out for them. So very sorry that's she's gone.

Juanbablo · 19/08/2017 16:46

How terribly sad. She was such a funny and vibrant poster. My thoughts are with her family and friends.
