deportation a prob, get a cat......at least in the UK

[RACER X]

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.
