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.

That's a good thought, josiah.

FreedaDonkey · 18/08/2017 21:31

No way! That's such a shock, RIP CTK

This is just one of the saddest news.

I didn't know her but her threads were on of the first non parenting ones I read on here & her sense of humour shone through.

RIP Catthiefkeith & condolences to everyone who knew her.

I think mumsnet could do a meningitis awareness campaign in memory of catthiefkeith.

Only last Sunday, 13th she was posting in the morning in response to a poster asking what everyone was doing.....

Have had a friends two kids here for a sleepover so will take them and Dd over the park in a little while, then once I've taken them home we are packing up the camper and heading to the boat for a couple of days.

Need to go via asda pharmacy for some ear drops on the way as I seem to have gone deaf in my right ear.

............

To go from needing ear drops to passing way in the space of a few days is something that is very difficult to comprehend in a young, presumably healthy woman. It's a sobering thought that it could happen to any of us.

Oh no how terribly sad.

SwedishEdith · 18/08/2017 21:29

God, what terrible news. Really quite shocked.

CakeNinja · 18/08/2017 21:29

Just saw this on FB. What a shock, she was such a vibrant and charismatic poster here.
Devastating.
Sad

toastisme · 18/08/2017 21:28

Such incredibly sad news. I didn't know her personally but often found her posts very engaging and full of kindness Flowers such a sad loss

honeysucklejasmine · 18/08/2017 21:27

Oh my goodness, how heartbreaking!

I have my hooks and wool ready when you give the signal, Knotty.

teaandtoast · 18/08/2017 21:27

RIP, Cat. Wonderful posts, so witty and warm.

sodabreadjam · 18/08/2017 21:27

Oh no! Such a shock and so terrible for CTK and her family.

Her threads were always hilarious. No surprise to read that she was just as lovely and funny in real life.

RIP CTK. 😢💐

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 18/08/2017 21:27

Sad Oh no. Shocking. Flowers

WicksEnd · 18/08/2017 21:27

I don't know where would be best Slithy The bereavement topic just doesn't seem right, personally I think Classics is more appropriate for her, but no need to worry about it yet, it's safe for 90 days I'm sure MNHQ will oblige.

hedwig2001 · 18/08/2017 21:25

So sorry to hear this news. I always enjoyed hearing from Catthiefkeith.
RIP Flowers

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 18/08/2017 21:24

I'm so shocked to read this... such a recognisable name and poster.

My heart goes out to her family and friends Flowers

Woolly hugs is a beautiful idea, is there a thread? How do people help?

SouthernComforts · 18/08/2017 21:24

Oh no Sad RIP CatThiefKeith x

OstentatiousWanking · 18/08/2017 21:23

How absolutely heartbreaking. She was such a gentle funny soul.
She will be very much missed here.
My love to all her friends and family Flowers

traceyturnblatt · 18/08/2017 21:23

What an absolute shame :( I loved her stories, they often had me roaring with laughter. Love to all her family and loved ones Flowers

SweetBabyJebus · 18/08/2017 21:23

She was as fantastically funny and witty in real life as she came across on Mumsnet. Such a kind hearted woman too. She will be so missed. And taken so fast, literally here one minute and gone the next. Rest in peace V.

AVeryBigHouse · 18/08/2017 21:22

Another here that didn't know her or even interact with her but knew greatly of her posts.

RIP CTK.

BringMeTea · 18/08/2017 21:22

Oh no! How utterly heartbreaking. So sorry for anyone who knew her. She was hands down one of the funniest, most articulate and kind posters I have ever read. I would never pass by one of her posts. So many funny stories. The cardboard cut-out, the neighbour, her DH's weird mate... so many.

She will be sorely missed. May CatThiefKeith RIP.

GlitterGlue · 18/08/2017 21:22

Such terribly sad news, my thoughts are with her family and friends.

I didn't know her in real life, but she had a real way with words and her posts brought many a smile to my face.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 18/08/2017 21:21

Incredibly sad news - I always loved her posts and massively admired her attitude

Warm thoughts to all her family and friends

Butterymuffin · 18/08/2017 21:21

Can't believe someone so full of life could have died like this. Flowers

yawning801 · 18/08/2017 21:20

Rest in peace.
