The Nation reported that a ship had caught fire earlier and was sinking near Adang Island, Thailand. All of the crew had reportedly jumped off into the ocean before the navy had arrived.
In photos posted by Facebook user @nookool.b, four wet cats, that were stranded on the boat, are seen looking hopefully towards a boat of rescuers approaching them.
