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.

Her stories were full of hilarity, I loved them.

Gosh, I don't 'recognise' many posters on here, but CatTheifKeith was one of the only ones I did.

I'm really sorry to hear this

SandyDenny · 18/08/2017 20:25

I don't usually register posters names but I do recognise hers, sympathies to her family and friends

What shocking news - CTK was a MN legend!!!

Tove - thank you for telling us, I can't believe that such a vibrant, funny mum has left us.

Capaxapt · 18/08/2017 20:27

So sad be to hear that awful news. It was the puppy story that I remember most. Latest being the camping in the garden.

ScissorBow · 18/08/2017 20:28

Oh God. She was an absolutely wonderful poster. I loved any thread she started as she just had a real 'FML' dry sense of humour. I was thinking about her the other day too. Sincere condolences to her DH, DD and am I right in thinking she had an older DS?

LooksLikeImStuckHere · 18/08/2017 20:28

She was so funny, I'm so sorry Flowers

gillybeanz · 18/08/2017 20:28

This is terrible news and so sad for her family.
May she rest in peace.
I loved her stories and she seemed so full of life and good humour so Sad

donajimena · 18/08/2017 20:28

I've just seen on Facebook. I'm so upset. She was such a character. Her poor family.

Fauchelevent · 18/08/2017 20:28

I clicked on this thread really hoping that it would be CTK posting for advice on a recent bereavement, or anything other than this :( what a terrible loss. My thoughts are with her. She was truly sad and although we only interacted a few tines, i'll miss seeing her username around the boards.

reallybadidea · 18/08/2017 20:29

Terribly sad news. Her poor family.

Hassled · 18/08/2017 20:29

I'm so sorry - how awful. I always liked and admired her from afar - she was straightforward and kind and funny.

MrsJayy · 18/08/2017 20:29

MrsGotobed · 18/08/2017 20:30

OMG I'm really shocked and saddened to hear this.

She sounded like such a fun person, always in the midst of something exciting , funny or outright crazy.

My thoughts are with her family and friends Flowers x

NoToast · 18/08/2017 20:30

Didn't she steal rescue a one eared rabbit? I always noticed her posts, she was definitely one of the good ones.

So very sorry for her family and friends

BorisTrumpsHair · 18/08/2017 20:31

Toasting Cat now.

What a shocking and tragic loss for her family.

Good God meningitis. You really don't know the second. Let alone the minute, do you.
Just shows how short life is.
