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.

Really, really sorry to read this :( She was one of a handful of posters I always recognised and respected. Meningitis is a bastard - lost a good friend to it years ago and it's a fast and terrifying illness. Rest in peace CatTheif x

Great poster. Will be sorely missed. I can't imagine her husband and child's pain.

I am so very sorry for your loss x

CeeCeeEnnEss · 18/08/2017 23:45

How shocking and awful; I'm so sorry to hear this.

She'll be missed, thinking of her loved ones.

So sorry Cat's family 💐

I'm shocked and saddened to hear the news. RIP CatThiefKeith, you will be missed Flowers

I loved her recent thread about being stuck in a tent in the rain.

What a sad loss.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 19/08/2017 00:01

Do you all remember the excitement when she bought her little boat?

And was deciding what to call it.

And then she lost it!

And then she was on it one night, with her DD and niece, or maybe friend, and she was desperate for a pee.

But would have to wake the kids to get to the loo.

CommunistLegoOoOoBloc · 19/08/2017 00:03

Pygmy goats :)

She was brilliant. Every time she started a thread, you knew it was going to be mostly mad and completely hilarious. I will really miss her. ❤

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 19/08/2017 00:05

I'm shocked and saddened to read the awful news about CatThiefKeith. She came across as a really decent person. MN will be a poorer place without her.

Condolences to her family and friends. RIP Flowers

Mineshalfamilkstout · 19/08/2017 00:05

Condolences x

ThierryEnnui · 19/08/2017 00:05

God, this is awful. I've been here under various guises over the years and her posts have always stood out to me. Sleep well, CTK. Hoping for comfort and peace for her family. Flowers

I can't believe this Sad

AFingerofFudge · 19/08/2017 00:12

Another one here really shocked at the news, and so sad to lose a bright star on Mumsnet.

averylongtimeago · 19/08/2017 00:14

Such sad news.
She always came across as a kind and funny person.
My thoughts are with her family, so sorry for their loss.

ohfourfoxache · 19/08/2017 00:14

Absolutely devastating news, sending all my love, thoughts and prayers to Keith's family and friends.

Keith was one of a kind. She was funny and wise and strong. I had the fortune of "talking to her" a few times on here and the news has left me numb. I can only begin to imagine how her nearest and dearest feel Sad

JaneJeffer · 19/08/2017 00:14

So sad to hear this RIP

Claudinette1978 · 19/08/2017 00:16

Was she the lady who slept on the balcony with the cat ? Poor her, her poor family :(

MoaningYoniAgain · 19/08/2017 00:18

I'm so sorry to hear she's died. One of the funniest regulars we've had, she had the best tales and adventures

RIP Flowers

CanIKondo · 19/08/2017 00:18

So sorry to read this news. She was such a funny and warmhearted poster. Condolences to CatThiefKeith's family.

Dragonflycushion · 19/08/2017 00:25

I'm so sorry to hear this. She made me roar with laughter in an unfunny world - a force of nature. My heart goes out to her family and friends.Flowers

FizzyGreenWater · 19/08/2017 00:27

Oh my god.

Absolutely terrible.

CatthiefKeith you'll be missed so much.

Her poor DH and DD.

Terrible news.

I loved reading her posts and threads, so funny, so well-expressed.

Thanks to her family, and Wine raised to her memory.
