What do you get when you mix a little boy, a glass of wine and a cat? A viral household mishap that has the internet in hysterics.
Mom Jourdain shared a short clip on TikTok of the aftermath of what happened when her son accidentally knocked over a glass of red wine in their house.
"Just as he kicked it, my cat, Gigi [full name Gerri], was running by, and the wine fell over her. I was more concerned with my couch and rug because that's where the majority spilled," Jourdain told Newsweek.

Holding a soaking Gigi up to the camera, Jourdain, who didn't disclose her last name, asked the internet: "Anyone spill red wine on a cat before?"
"I didn't realize how much had spilled [on] Gigi, until I saw spots of red wine down my entry way, in our entry way rug and then my stairs," she continued.

Realizing that Gigi was drenched, the 30-year-old had to act fast. "I took her to the kitchen immediately to figure out how the heck to wash wine out of a cat," she said.
In the middle of the commotion, Jourdain began recording a Snapchat video to share with friends when her son made the now-viral declaration: "My cat is ruined."

The mom from Nebraska told Newsweek she couldn't stop laughing and sent the video to her friends.
Jourdain's clip has received over four and a half million views and thousands of comments from other social media users who found the chaos hilarious.
"Why did you go and ruin his cat like that?," one user laughed. Many others were big fans of Jourdain's son, who was the star of the show.
Others shared stories of when they spilled food or drink on their pets. "I spilled some [wine] on my Dalmation before! It gave Lisa frank vibes so I just left it," another user wrote.
Another shared how their cousin also spilled red wine on her white golden doodle "and she in fact was ruined for a week."
Gigi, whom Jourdain described as the "cutest spunkiest cat", was completely unharmed by the red wine. Jourdain was able to wipe her down with a dishcloth and soap.
"It came right out and there were no stains. She licked herself all night though," she told Newsweek.
