It may have been one of the least plausible attempts to avoid deportation - but it worked.
An illegal immigrant was allowed to stay in Britain because he had a cat, it was revealed yesterday.
The unnamed Bolivian was spared deportation after he told a court that he and his girlfriend had bought the animal as a pet.
Immigration judges ruled that sending him back home would breach his human rights by interfering with his family life.
Court papers on the case have kept secret the name of the cat alongside that of the immigrant as part of its privacy procedures.
However one immigration judge, Judith Gleeson, remarked in the official ruling that the cat 'need no longer fear having to adapt to Bolivian mice.'
His p.ussy saved the day! And I thought DF was weird
