Is Your Cat Y2K Ready?
Stock up on litter before the clocks roll

With fewer than two hundred days left until the year 2000, every bank, airline and power company in America is busy checking its computers. But who is checking your cat?
The good news: cats do not contain any two-digit date fields. Our engineering staff spent three weekends confirming this using a tabby named Pixel and a borrowed oscilloscope. Pixel is fully compliant. The oscilloscope has been reported missing.
The bad news: if the trucks stop running on January 1, you could be facing a litter situation. That is why Petz.com recommends a 'millennium stockpile' of at least one month of food, water and 40-pound bags of litter. Yes, we lose about forty dollars on every bag. We consider it our civic duty.
Petz Y2K Checklist: two weeks of canned food, a manual can opener, fresh water, one executive litter box, and a Day-Trader Mouse for morale.
