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.

There's not many posters whose usernames I take notice of but I always noticed and enjoyed reading catthiefkeith's posts and threads. A lot of the most memorable threads are hers. I never knew her personally but always felt she'd be fun to be around. Genuinely saddened to hear this. Thoughts are with her family and friends. Flowers

Oh my god, I can’t believe it. How awful. Her poor family SadFlowers

I got to meet her a few times IRL (meet ups) and she was just as funny and charming and down to earth and lovely as she was on here.

Life is so unfair it sucks.

Nicknacky · 18/08/2017 20:17

I am so sorry to read this, how utterly tragic. My heart goes out to all her family and friends x

That's so sad. What a funny, lovely poster. I bet she was cool IRL. Flowers to her family and friends.

So shocked to read this Sad
I last saw CTK at a London meetup, a very witty and fun lady with a heart of gold.
My condolences to her family, DH and her young DD Flowers

Rocksyluv · 18/08/2017 20:17

That is so tragic. She always had such funny things happen to her and was so articulate when relaying them.

So sorry to hear, condolences to her family.

Penfold007 · 18/08/2017 20:17

Rest in peace CatThiefKeith and to all her family and friends I am so very sorry for your loss.

MooPointCowsOpinion · 18/08/2017 20:17

Oh god how awful. Huge condolences to you slithytove, I'm so sorry you've lost a dear friend.

She was a fantastic poster, really funny and joyful, someone I always recognised when commenting. I don't know how any family can move past such a loss, her poor husband and children.

dementedma · 18/08/2017 20:17

No! Is this the lady who was trapped in the tent overnight and who slept on the balcony with the scabby cat? So funny and so vibrant.

HelenaDove · 18/08/2017 20:16

Oh im so so sorry to hear this. My condolences to her DH family and friends. Sad Thanks

JustMumNowNotMe · 18/08/2017 20:16

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry to hear this. Such a warm, sunny woman who's posts never failed to amuse me. My heart goes out to her husband and daughter 💜

Maria1982 · 18/08/2017 20:16

I'm so sorry to hear this, she was such a lovely poster, with a brilliant sense of humour.

My thoughts are with her family Flowers

KermitsLoveChild · 18/08/2017 20:16

I don't know what to say. CTK made me laugh so often.

Mumteedum · 18/08/2017 20:16

I'm so sorry to all her RL friends and family. I would always start reading her posts, then realise it was her. Always so funny and just full of life. I always thought she'd be a great mate to have. Really sad.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 18/08/2017 20:16

Sorry, Cat not Cath

I'm so sorry to read this - I didn't know her personally but hers was always one of the names I recognise and like seeing posts from.

Utterly shocked. Loved her stories; she had such a way with words. I'm so sad to hear this. Sad

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 18/08/2017 20:14

Crikey, that is very sad.

I liked her, and she had a fab name too.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 18/08/2017 20:14

Sorry x-post re: illness.

RIP lovely lady xx

MrsKoala · 18/08/2017 20:14

She was a wonderful person. I feel so shocked. I can't believe it. She did anything for anyone. She was so funny. She loved her husband and daughter so much. She was just radiant in every way.

Scribblegirl · 18/08/2017 20:14

She was so funny on her thread recently about the night in the tent. I can't believe it. Flowers
