i am happy for you to give my address as your babies "new " home is SA we dont have registration for cats and it should be able to keep them off your back.

defiantly de register her and if they do a spot check at any point she is having a holiday with you because her new "owners" had to go away quickly!
I agree - people go away for business and holidays and need someone to look after their pets. Who better than her previous family who she knows and trusts?

I'd be saying that you rehomed her, give an address of a friend or relative (with friend or relative approval, of course), and if someone from council sees her in your window then you're just looking after her for the new owners.

Besides - who the hell are they to invade your privacy by coming to do spot checks?!? They certainly would be way out of line to go to someone else's house to check that she really has been moved. That goes way beyond any rights that they may have.

It can still be your dream home... If you love the house and the neighbourhood, please don't give up on it that easily... You're probably being picked on because the person who "discovered" you was having a bad hair day or something, and decided to make you their target. Convince them that she has moved, and you probably won't hear anything else from them. Ever. Or it may take another five years for anyone to get around to checking up on it!!
