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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

marriednotdead · 18/08/2017 20:17

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

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

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

CarolinePenvenen · 18/08/2017 20:17

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

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 18/08/2017 20:17

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.

theclockticksslowly · 18/08/2017 20:17

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

DeathByMascara · 18/08/2017 20:19

Oh my God, I'm so shocked and saddened to read this! She wasn't a friend, but I loved reading her posts, I knew I was going to enjoy a story when I saw she was telling it.

Heartfelt condolences to her family. Absolutely devastating Flowers

RIP Cat SadFlowers

Rinkydinkypink · 18/08/2017 20:19

Very sad. Life can be such a cruel bastard. RIP. Thoughts with her friends and family.

HelsinkiLights · 18/08/2017 20:19

That's so sad. I remember her thread about the next door neighbour & the candles, it was hilarious.
Poor Catthiefkeith & her family.

MrsKoala · 18/08/2017 20:19

I know Slithy. She'd call me up and we'd pour a glass of wine and have a laugh. We'd been meaning to do something for my birthday and i kept putting it off. I'm sucha twat. I wish i could see her once more and tell her how much her friendship meant to me. Idon't think she knew how special she was.

Lissette · 18/08/2017 20:20

I'm so sorry to hear this Sad

slithytove · 18/08/2017 20:20

Thank you, but please don't pass on condolences to me, there are so so so many people in her life who knew her better than me, but she was a lovely woman and she made the world a better place, including on here.

So wanted mumsnetters to be able to toast her, light a candle or whatever. Remember her and her amazing posts.
