A real cat was certainly not what a man hoped to win when he tried his luck at grabbing a plush animal from a claw machine at a gas station in the west-central Brazil state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Rider Soares, 30, and his wife were driving to visit family in the city of Bonito when they pulled over at a rest stop in the municipality of Niaoque. After eating and relaxing, the Brazilian businessman set his eyes on the machine and on his first try was able to hook an elephant. As his wife cheered him on and recorded the eventful scene while he waited on his new prize to fall into the pickup slot, a cat slowly crawled out of the machine to their amusement.
The gas station's cat calmly walked out of the machine just moments after Soares had won a plush elephant
The feline was the last thing the couple expected.
'We had a big laugh because it was so surreal,' Soares told The Dodo. Soares said he wanted to adopt the cat, but was saddened he could not do so because it was the gas station owner's pet
Aside from leaving the gas station with his prize, Soares' wish of walking out with the cat was dashed when he learned that the animal was making his home at the rest stop for a while.
His newfound friend 'was the best thing' he said he had ever picked up from the claw machine. 'Who could imagine getting a real plush animal in such a machine?' he said.
The cat, named Garfield, sleeps in the claw machine sometimes. The gentleman wanted to keep him but found out from the employees that he lives there and is extremely loved and cared for.

Some pest repellents that you can find right in your kitchen cabinet or garden! Did you know, for example, that сinnamon can work as a double agent here? It makes your house smell like a dream and helps you defer ants at the same time. Another affordable thing ants totally hate is vinegar. You can spray it onto the ants, around the windowsills, doorways, and places that ants love. And, there’ll be no scent left behind after it dries!

SUMMARY: - You might love the smell of oranges, lemons, and grapefruit, but ants just can’t stand it! Use this knowledge to your advantage. - Similar to citrus fruits, cucumbers smell like trouble to ants. Apparently, there’s something in their chemical composition that eliminates the fungi that ants love a lot. - If you have ants in your kitchen and bathroom, you can repel them usingpeppermint essential oil. Sprinkle cotton ballswith a few drops and leave them in areas where the ants hang out. - If you mix cinnamon oil with water in a spray bottle and sprinkle it on ant trails, windows, doors and cracks, it’ll have an even stronger effect. - Before you throw away usedcoffee groundsafter you enjoy a hot cup, remember they can, in fact, be of good use to you. Put them right in the cracks, sprinkle them around the flower bed, or even the entire base of your house. - Tansy flowers might look cute to you but not to the ants! Plant it near your front door, under full or indirect sun and in pretty dry soil, or among other plants you want to protect from ants. - Food grade diatomaceous earth is a fine silica powder of fossilized algae. It’s perfectly safe for humans, but dangerous for insects. - No ant shall pass a border made of chalk, since they can’t walk across powdery materials. - Ants love sugar but can’t stand baking soda. The smell of sugar will attract them, and baking soda will say “hi” to their digestive system, and the results are pretty dramatic for them. - Cornmeal isn’t the quickest way to ruin an ant colony, but it’s completely harmless to humans and super cheap, so you might want to give it a go. - Make a thin paste of powdered Borax laundry booster, sugar and water in equal parts. Put a few tablespoons of it on a jar lid and set the bait. This solution attracts all possible kinds of ants with its sugary smell. - Another ant secret they don’t want you to know is that they just hate hot water. Yes, something as simple as that makes them tremble with fear. - Most ants just go for the food, but some love plants, both potted and planted ones. To prevent them from building a home in what’s adding aesthetics to your own home, try setting up a moat filled with water, much like people did in ancient times building fortresses.
If you want to get rid of insects, bedbugs, spiders, cockroaches, mice and ants, keep this plant at your home! According to scientific research, there are harmful chemicals found in pest repellents that can be dangerous to you and to your pets. Luckily, there are many plants that are known to repel pests, spiders, mice and ants. Here are some readily available plants and herbs that are known to repel those annoying pests.
1. Lavender
Lavender is a plant that has been in use for a long time to add a sweet scent and fragrance to homes and clothe wardrobes. Although the smell of lavender is pleasant to people, spiders and other undesirable insects loathe the smell. Place tied bouquets in strategic areas in your home or plant them in sunlit areas of your garden to keep the area pest free.
2. Peppermint
You can get rid of thosecreepy crawly bugs and mice with a mixture of water and mint. You may like the scent of mint but definitely mice and bugs don’t. Scent of mint irritates mice’s nose and blocks their trail pheromones. Basically, what you need to do is apply a small quantity of peppermint oil to areas where insects and mice might reach, for example, furniture, clothes and even your skin. You can also place cotton bods soaked with a few drops of peppermint oil in the corner of your room or other strategic areas.
3. Rosemary
The rosemary plant comes in several forms and is effective as an insect or bedbug repellent. It can be grown in a garden bed or indoors in a container. A simple way of creating a repellent spray from the plant is adding a cup of dried rosemary to water to be boiled, then squeezing the water from the rosemary plant into another container of cold water. Finally, store the rosemary water in the refrigerator and add it to spray or squirt bottles. It’s a walk in the park.
4. Bay Leaves
Bay leaves are common ingredients in sauces and soups but they can also act as a natural insect repellent. When you sprinkle dried bay leaves around your home, they can be as effective in keeping off annoying insects as some common insecticide sprays would. However, the advantage is that there are no toxins involved and they are safe to be used in homes that have pets and children present.
5. Thyme Oil
Carvacrol and alpha-terpinena are compounds that come from the essential oil of thyme and are found to have good repellent characteristics. Studies have shown that when thyme oil is applied to the skin, it provides a 90% protection rate against mosquito and insect bites. In case of camping, putting some amount of fresh thyme in a campfire can provide protection for up to 2 hours. Pretty cool, right?
6. Basil
Basil is known to add a delicious taste to salads, numerous pork, and chicken recipes. In addition, you can produce an insect repellent or spray using fresh Basil so that your summer fun is not disturbed by pesky insects. This homemade insect repellent calls for a small quantity of Vodka which is used as a carrier. Mix some vodka with the liquid obtained from the Basil and shake gently. The mixture can be sprayed on the skin or clothes to repel those insects that trouble you.
7. Eucalyptus
Mice cannot withstand strong odors, and this makes eucalyptus oil a good mean to keep them away. You can simply apply a few drops in the areas where you have discovered mice droppings or you can fill your home with the scent of the Eucalyptus oil using a diffuser. This is pleasant to humans, but a terrible and deadly smell to mice and rodents
8. Catnip
There are essential oils found in the catnip plants which have the ability to repel termites and bedbugs. Recent research from the U.S Department of Agriculture shows that termites would not burrow under a soil that has the presence of a catnip plant. Catnip which has a scent that attracts cats is repulsiveto termites,ants,and mosquitoes. The plant contains nepetalactone, a terpene that is proven to be very effective at fending off insects.
9. Lemon Grass
