Today was the first morning, Sarah was to feed her neighbor's cat, Whiskers, while they were on vacation. As she entered their home, using the spare key they left her, she found a note on the kitchen table that read, "Give Whiskers the medicine in the blue bottle."

Scanning the counter, she saw a blue bottle and mixed the liquid into Whiskers' food, watching as the cat eagerly devoured his meal. Moments later, Whiskers began to stagger and convulse, his eyes wide with distress.

Panicking, Sarah called the vet, her heart pounding. The vet arrived swiftly, administering an antidote and rushing Whiskers to the animal clinic. After a tense wait, the vet emerged, his face stern but relieved.

"Whiskers will be okay, but he had a close call," the vet said.

He followed Sarah back to the kitchen to investigate. Opening a cabinet, he pulled out another blue bottle, this one clearly labeled "Whiskers' medicine."

The first blue bottle had been a cleaning solution, left out by mistake. Sarah's face paled as she realized the gravity of her error. The misunderstanding had nearly cost Whiskers his life, leaving Sarah devastated by her mistake and more cautious than ever.
