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.

Oh god. This is such awful news. Her poor, poor family. She was so funny, you could really get a sense of the amazing person she was through her posts. I'm so, so sorry.

PinkSquash · 18/08/2017 22:50

Her vibrancy will be much missed. RIP and love Sad

NeverSurrender · 18/08/2017 22:48

Heartbreaking. Much love to her family and friends

Omg,
I loved reading her posts, sending my love to her family & friends at this sad time 😢😢

SlatternIsTrying · 18/08/2017 22:47

I'm so sorry to read this news. My sincerest condolences to CTK's family.

FoxyRoxy · 18/08/2017 22:47

I didn't know her but her posts were brilliant and she was lovely. So sad to hear this news, rip CTK and sending love to her friends and family, they must be in such shock XXXSad

Leo35 · 18/08/2017 22:46

Really sad news. My thoughts are with her family.

TheDailyWail · 18/08/2017 22:45

She made me laugh and I have lost hours to her threads.

CatThiefKeith will be sorely missed by MN. I'll miss you too CTK. Condolences to all who knew her.

magimedi · 18/08/2017 22:44

I was so hoping the other post I read abut this was a troll..............

RIP Caththief - you brightened every page you posted on.

Lelloteddy · 18/08/2017 22:43

Life can be so horribly cruel Sad

BubbleAnimal · 18/08/2017 22:43

I don't think we ever managed to attend the same meet ups, but I know she lived very close to me from a couple of posts. RIP. Hopefully Pistey and Knotty and Woolly Hugs can organise something Flowers

PuppyMonkey · 18/08/2017 22:43

RIP Sad

MetallicBeige · 18/08/2017 22:41

RIP, to a clever, funny and kind MNetter. She met some bizarre situations with positivity and wit, I loved reading her threads.
Flowers to her family and friends, what beautiful memories she leaves behind.

AvaCrowder2 · 18/08/2017 22:40

That's really sad. She was a brilliant poster, funny, warm and articulate.

MirandaWest · 18/08/2017 22:39

So sorry to hear this. I too am shocked Sad

VelvetSpoon · 18/08/2017 22:39

Bloody hell, how shocking. Many condolences to family and friends on such sad news.

I'm another who didn't know her outside of MN, and indeed even on here really only as a poster whose name I recognised for many humorous posts (like her recent v funny stuck in a tent thread). We lived in the same county and years ago she did offer to set me up with a single male friend of hers - it never happened as I met my bf a few days after.

She will be missed.

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 18/08/2017 22:38

Deepest condolences to CTK's family. A wonderful woman - her stories always stood out and hers is one of the names I would most recognise here. A shocking and sudden loss - I don't think I realise meningitis could hit adults so swiftly.

AlternativeTentacle · 18/08/2017 22:37

She was a legend. We will miss her. No-one did scrapes like CTK. RIP love.

Witchend · 18/08/2017 22:35

Such a shock.
Rest in peace. Flowers

TSSDNCOP · 18/08/2017 22:35

Dreadful, shocking news. I believe she is local to me. Her posts made me laugh a lot. I shall miss her in these parts.

stayathomegardener · 18/08/2017 22:34

I didn't know her but my heart just dropped when I read that opening post.
Catthief was a big part of My Mumsnet and thank you OP for letting us know.
Condolences to her real life DH, family and friends.
I wish her impact could be commentated in some way on Mumsnet.

problembottom · 18/08/2017 22:33

That is terribly sad news. One of my favourite posters on Mumsnet.

thecraddock · 18/08/2017 22:33

What shocking news.

Rest in peace Keith Flowers

brokenshoes · 18/08/2017 22:28

Totally shocked reading this. She came across as very kind and funny.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 18/08/2017 22:28

slithy you absolutely did the right thing, thank you for being so brave.

My first thought was it must be a mistake or a troll.

I met CTK at 2 or maybe 3 London meet-ups, and she was exactly as lovely and warm and funny as you would expect from her posts here.

We shared concern for another poster here and I have a PM from her from less than 2 weeks ago.
How fast this awful thing took hold of her.

I can fairly certainly assure everyone that our lovely Zombie will have been there with Gin and Torch.
They met at a London meet-up at least once.

So sorry for her husband and little daughter, hope they can see here that she was loved by so many from literally across the world.
