It doesn't sound like you're gambling at all - you've just about got everything covered. I've no idea what you plan to do with the syringes... does everyone have them? Maybe there's something I don't know about.

The only things I can think of are wood shavings if you're going to use them in the house
A cat litter scoop to poo pick (so you can keep the wood shavings pretty clean)
Maybe some tonic to add to the water if one catches a cold/has a snuffle.
And Chicken+DuckMad is right, you'll need something to clean them out. I use a brush, a rake, a broom and a spade.

Have fun!

The syringes are used when I have to mix 20 mil or 30 mil of liquid mixture to 5 litres of water
