Sorry for being late but I would love a copy too

I think you would be better sending @NaomiM a PM.

@jasmine2 Just checking as some people have been confused due to two different books being mentioned. This book was made up of PF members' tributes from this thread; if you go back a page or two in this thread you'll see a link to a PDF. People have also been talking about the idea of a longer-term project compiling Stef's wonderful advice into another book. This hasn't yet been done as it's a big project and will take quite some time to complete and numerous volunteers to work on it. There's a separate thread for this under the title "Chillminx's book of wisdom", which is also a sticky in Cat Chat.

I haven't checked this forum for over a year and am very saddened by what I have read. I can only add to what others have said. @chillminx was one of the kindest, friendliest, most helpful people I have had the pleasure of 'meeting'. I would regularly direct people to her posts for the incredible advice given and kindly way in which she gave that advice. The world is an emptier place without her. Sending my thoughts to her family and friends.

Saw this thread a little while ago but couldn't begin to comment... Just no words. This is Pablo. He's still here today because of the advice and support @chillminx gave. He was very sick, maxed out his pet insurance and I was in a very bad place when I posted here for help and advice. She recommended I set up a gofundme page and helped both financially and emotionally. Living testament to what a wonderful person she was and a terrible loss x

Oh wow. I very rarely visit this sub-forum, so only saw this, can’t believe it

Stef was so helpful and supportive when Luna was diagnosed with FIP, she was so knowledgeable, always a fantastic source of information, and just came across as such a kind and caring person - what a loss

 

[SuboJvR]

Such terribly sad news I don’t know what to say. Chillminx helped me and Joey so so much, what a cruel world this is rest in peace Stef

 

[Britt]

OMG I didn’t know Chillminx had passed away. She was such a nice
person

 

[baubbles]

I too have just read this and so sad and so sorry for her family. Chilliminx was absolutely lovely and such a giving, helpful soul. RIP Chilliminx.

 

[Milo’s mum]

In the last two weeks I have read some old threads and Chillminx would always give a calm and very knowledgeable advice.
She was an amazing and supportive person! She would always have a good word for everyone.
RIP Dear!

Just logged back in after being away and saw this news.
She sorted out my cats issue after only a few messages when my vet was not sure what was going on.
My cat and I will always be grateful.
Thanks Chillminx

I decieded to come on as i am in bed at mo with covid and i had a shock chillmix was the first person to welcome me to forum i will always remember her although i did not ever meet her but i will always view her as my freind a wonderful ladyxxx

 

[SnowyMittens]

I have just looked back at my very first post in 2012 asking for advice on a problem for my young cat - Chillminx was the person who replied with a suggestion that I followed and it worked amazingly. That was my very first post and I didn’t come back until very recently when the same cat (Waffles) got sadly very sick. What a wonderful lady to always have time for a newbie. Thank you from myself and certainly from my Wafflepops xxx

I didn't log in for a very long time, I just did and saw this horrible news. I am so sad to learn this... Stef was always there to give me good advice with Ren's issue. She was a wonderful human being.
Ren and I are thinking of her and thanking her for all she did for us.

She is very much missed.

 

[Minuscule]

She is very much missed.

Oh yes, she was amazing. I am shocked and sad.


Edit: Been thinking a lot about Stef today, I read some old messages she sent me and they were all lovely. What a wonderful person she was, knowing she's not there anymore is so very sad. I wonder if she knew how many people she touched on this forum.

We, as a forum, raised funds for The Arc Cat rescue on her behalf and for a wreath in the shape of a cat. There was also a book, privately published, with examples of her wisdom and compassion. Her family know how much she was loved and appreciated by us all, I can assure you of that.
If you would like to donate to the Arc I'm sure Sally would be delighted to accept. You could tell her it's in memory of Stef.

Oh my, no. This is extremely distressing. I have, on multiple occasions, told my parter about advice given by Chilliminx she was amazing. When my boys died, she was there for me and helped me through.

Sadly, my darling rescue Tia got put to sleep yesterday - I'm more than devastated, I feel suicidal even. Tia was a rescue I got at 8 years old, she had the worst case of IBD, nothing working. She lost so much weight. She was my double heart cat, and I only had her for, 4, years. I came here to maybe speak to her as she helped me last time.

This is so so so sad, what a horrible time. RIP you amazing beautiful soul, I hope you are reunited with your fur babies. What a loss for us and cats.

 

[Annealise]

Chilliminx was indeed amazing. I miss her greatly she was a great friend.

So very sorry for the loss of your Tia. It is the most difficult and bravest decision cat owners have to make. It sounds as if she had a lot to contend with. Sleep tight Tia.

 

[huckybuck]

So sad and sorry for the loss of Tia. How lovely that you felt you wanted to talk to Chillminx about it. It’s dreadfully sad she is no longer with us - we all miss her so very much.

I have no doubt she is welcoming Tia into her arms to look after her until you meet again.

 

[Mrs Funkin]

So sorry to read abut Tia @SpencerK It's so hard but you have made the right decision for her, the pain you feel is in direct relation to how much you loved her. Go well, Tia, knowing you are truly loved.

I like to think of Chillminx surrounded by all of her own cats and all of those that she has helped and loved at a distance too. She will never be short of feline company, that's for sure.
