I hadn't checked the forum in a long time but Chillminx was incredibly helpful when I had a litany of issues with my kittens when I bought them in January of this year. I don't know what I would have done without that advice as I was at my wit's end. I can't believe she's gone :(

My condolences to everyone that knew her through this forum and personally, what a lovely lady to devote her time like that and a really sad loss to the community.

Oh my goodness I've just logged in after many months to hear chillminx has passed away.

I'm heartbroken. May she rest in peace.

I honestly can't believe it. She was ever so helpful when snowy became sick, she gave me endless advice. Last we talked she was talking about her home life and was having fun in the weather. This was sometime last year.

I'm honestly so distraught. I had no idea and I feel so guilty for not responding to her DM asking how snowy was when I asked her for advice. I should've checked in with her to see how she was recently.

I love her with all my heart. She was such an empathetic, kind and generous person. May you rest in peace beautiful lady ❤ thank you for everything :)

@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

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.
:cry:
She is very much missed.

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. :cry::cry::cry:

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.

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.
