4. I always keep a 5-month supply of litter and cat food.

I learned the hard way in January/February of 1994. There was no ice melt, sand, or kitty litter to be had in my area between January and late February 1994 due to multiple ice, sleet, and heavy snow storms. I was cutting newspaper into strips to put in the litter box. The cats took umbrage and the resulting battle of the cat pan resistance faction almost broke me. Since then, I always have enough litter on hand to last from December through April.
