In the hilarious clip shared by the animal's owner Maggie on her TikTok channel, Hamilton takes an unfortunate tumble while playing with a ball attached to a scratching post.
The poor kitty lands on a table before running off in embarrassment!
"I hope his birth mother knows she pushed out an idiot, Maggie added to the video as a humorous caption.
Hamilton originally lived with five other cats in a tiny kennel at the shelter until Maggie came along and adopted him.
The young woman immediately fell in love with the sweet cat and spoiled him with toys, treats, and endless affection – but soon realized that he was not the smartest of his kind.
As a result, the clumsy cat is always causing accidents, knocking over objects, or flying off his cat tree.
Many viewers laughed at the hilarious accident, but many were also worried about the cat's health. Maggie then reassured her followers in the comments section: "I promise he was okay after but he definitely scared the sh*t out of me."
"He's trying his best," wrote one user, while another said, "His chonkyness saved him from splatting on the floor. He is a beautiful boy. Coordinated no, but definitely beautiful."
