I volunteer at an animal shelter and am training to work alone in the cat room. Before my mentors showed up, I decided to take initiative and start feeding and cleaning out the litter boxes. Part way through, one of the mentors asked who brought in and opened a can of dog food in the cattery.
Apparently I wasn't paying too much attention to what pictogram was on the can, just what the food was. It said beef and liver and figured it was fine. Apparently not. Luckily I had only fed one adult cat the dog food. And she had turned her nose up at it and sat in the corner of her kennel.
And my mentors kept reminding me that there was a can of dog food in the cattery and kept "wondering" who would ever feed dog food to cats.
