Workers Rescue A Cat Seen Swimming A Mile Out At Sea

October 29, 2016

Curiosity almost got the best of this cat as it got itself into a difficult situation swimming about a mile out from the shore.

Environmental workers clearing rubbish out at sea off the coast of Istanbul could not believe their eyes when they saw the animal swimming.

The nervous feline kept wriggling free every time that they came close to catching it with a net. Eventually, they decided to change tactics and instead started up a conveyor belt which they use for removing solid waste from the surface of the water.

The crew of the boat said that they had no idea how the cat came to be so far out to sea and said that they had never seen anything like it before.

They later dropped the cat off at a port in the Ayvansaray district of Istanbul where it was said to have appeared to be in remarkably good health following its ordeal.
