A crew of a ship, en route from Odessa to Israel, found a cat on board, which survived a three-week journey, eating candy.

The animal was caught on CCTV cameras as it climbed into the container on the ship during loading in Odessa. The boat set off on December 26. It took the vessel three weeks to reach its destination. All this time, the animal was in an enclosed space without water and ate sweets, crunching boxes.

According to the director of the forwarding company Alexander Vinnik, it was the first time that the company encountered such an incident. The ship crew believes that the cat was able to survive by licking condensation from the walls of the container. The cat is now in quarantine.

WATER => a condensation on the container's walls.
FOOD => a cargo load of candies.

To better understand the pandemic’s global toll, we compiled the most recent available data on deaths from all causes from countries with available records. The tally found more than 821,000 additional deaths that aren’t accounted for in governments’ official Covid-19 death counts, even before accounting for all deaths from the late-year surge in cases.⁠⠀
