That is an excellent question.

Let's see.....
-Thermometer
-Surgical jelly/lubricant
-Gauze and bandage tape
-Eye ointment (something like chloramphincol or vetropolycin good for lubricating eyes or treating minor irritations)
-Peroxide (to induce vomiting if you see them eat something toxic)
-Karo syrup (for hypoglycemia)
-An easily assessable thick towel (to hold a hurt/aggressive kitty)

Gosh...I really can't think! This really is a wonderful question and I'm sure others can add to this.

When NOT to induce vomiting

Quote:
Corrosives(strong acid, alkali or petroleum-based substances) are found in household cleaners, drain unblocker and commercial solvents. When ingested, they cause burns of the mouth, oesophagus and stomach. Severe cases are associated with acute perforation (or late stricture) of the oesophagus and stomach. Rinse out your cat's mouth. Administer water or soda pop by mouth (one ounce per six pounds body weight), then give two teaspoons of vegetable oil once - do not induce vomiting!

PLANTS - very important
