Thank you for the URL's. One _very_ necessary item for many people I did not see on the list (first URL) is pet food and, for people who have cats, kitty litter. While preparing for the family humans, it can be awfully easy to overlook the family pet, who will not understand what's going on and might not take very well to a radically changed diet [what the humans are eating] due to an oversight.

My pet normally has his yearly physical and necessary injections in the fall. For people who normally go January-June, you might want to talk to you vet and find out if changing your schedule and getting your pet's shots up to date before Y2K starts is a good idea.

Preparedness for my pet is on my mind right now because I just hit a **great** sale for his brand of kitty liter Saturday. It was a tad bit difficult explaining that no, I do not raise cats, no, I just have one pet, to the people in front and behind me in the check-out line.

I am finding stock piling my pet's food a bit more tricky. He is on a special diet since he is prone to tarter build up (despite only eating dry food) and the food he eats has a shelf life stamped on it. I called the company that manufacturers it about storage ideas and they do not recommend this. This means I shall not feel comfortable stock piling his food until September.
