Bah if a ranger comes around to do a spot inspection to see if someone has a cat due to some bloody stupid covenants - obviously they have nothing better to do with their day!!!

Think of it this way - are you willing to get rid of her - or move - NOW before trying this idea? What if they never came around and checked? and you did get rid of her? I'd take the chance first, and then deal with the consequences. She sounds like a bloody special cat, and I know I wouldn't ever get rid of mine - and they never do anything as amazing as yours does!!!

Also when we we rehome her we have to give council the address of her new home so I assume they will be following up on it....
Sorry - didn't see this part - can you give them a friend's address who has a cat of a similar age and breed? That way if they go around there - they'll never know the difference.

OR - give them my address - I doubt they will be coming to Tassie to check up
