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 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. 😢💐

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

Oh my goodness, how heartbreaking!

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

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

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

SwedishEdith · 18/08/2017 21:29

God, what terrible news. Really quite shocked.

KeiraTwiceKnightley · 18/08/2017 21:29

Oh no how terribly sad.

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.

doleritedinosaur · 18/08/2017 21:30

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.

FreedaDonkey · 18/08/2017 21:31

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

Scribblegirl · 18/08/2017 21:31

That's a good thought, josiah.

HemanOrSheRa · 18/08/2017 21:31

Oh no Sad. CTK was a warm and funny woman. Didn't she rescue a little kitty recently? To add to her ever growing menagerie?

Rest in peace lovely CatThiefKeith Flowers.

LizzieVereker · 18/08/2017 21:31

I'm truly sorry to hear this, her posts were warm and funny, just as I'm sure she was, and my thoughts are with her family and friends.

chips4teaplease · 18/08/2017 21:32

I am so very sorry. Thoughts, vibes and prayers for her family and all her friends.

TheRollingCrone · 18/08/2017 21:32

Oh God! Sad how awful. I always had a little smile when I'd see her brilliant username on a thread.

Her family. .. I really have no words

Star shine on you crazy diamond

ScarlettDarling · 18/08/2017 21:34

Such sad news Flowers

Knittedfrog · 18/08/2017 21:34

Very sad news. Sending lots of love to her family and friends.

SleepFreeZone · 18/08/2017 21:34

Just heartbreaking 😭 She was one of the posters I recognised and she always seemed so lovely and funny. Can't believe someone healthy can be struck down so quickly and pass away. It's terrifying.

UrsulaPandress · 18/08/2017 21:34

Whoa. Not rtft but fuck me.

Deepest, deepest condolences to all who knew her in real life.

So awfully sad.

BenLui · 18/08/2017 21:35

Such sad and shocking news. Her poor family and friends must be devastated.

Rest in peace Cat Flowers

WellWhoKnew · 18/08/2017 21:35

An awesome poster who always brought a smile to my face with her stories. RIP CTK.

thereallochnessmonster · 18/08/2017 21:36

I'm so sad about this. Loved reading CatTheifKeith's posts.

Rest in peace.

Mummylin · 18/08/2017 21:37

I too remember Catthiefs thread about the tent, I think it was quite recently. Deepest sympathies to her family who must be devastated. It may be oneday give some comfort to he dh when he sees how highly she was thought of. 💐

Bravas · 18/08/2017 21:38

So sad to see this, as many others have said, she was a poster i recognised and loved reading, she had such great stories and so funny. RIP
