My Persian wife and I had some red wine in the living room that has a Persian carpet. My wife sternly advised me to not have a glass of wine any where that Persi could knock it off and of course I said I am right here, what could possibly happen? From out of nowhere, Persi knocked the glass over and now I know this has happened to many of you good folks, how can I get the stain out of the carpet? The Persian carpet, by the way, is right below the shredded curtains. Sometimes I just wish that cats would have done a better job of domesticating us humans!
