if you get a Y with cats you'll pass the sniffer, but not the visual.

Im pretty sure it will pass the sniffer. I was just wondering if anyone had any trouble passing visual?

yeah u will have trouble, just go to a dinky shop and ask if they do it and then slip him a crisp $100 and ask him if he does the visual again. repeat until he says he doesnt do the visual

LT's will not pass visual because the cats are moved. However most places don't even look.
