A JUDGE who ruled a migrant could stay in Britain because he has a cat said the moggie "need no longer fear Bolivian mice".
The South American was ordered to leave by the UK Border Agency after remaining here for four years - longer than a visa allowed.
But Home Office officials were left stunned when the man argued at an Asylum and Immigration tribunal that parting him from the pet would breach his human rights.
He said ownership of the cat with his girlfriend was evidence that he was fully settled in Britain and in a committed relationship.
Judges then dismissed an appeal by Home Office lawyers - and even blanked out the cat's name alongside the man's in official papers to protect privacy.
Should we just open the borders and do away with the UK Border Agency?
