in california the answer is a simple NO!
thus in california CAT=NO PASS.You mean, NO CAT = NO PASS, right? How about a gutted feline?

RACE ON!!!
Today I saw one of those: an 18 wheeler doing about 60 mph ran over a cat. It was GROSS. There was cat-guts all over the place. Talk about a gutted feline :lolg:

Not in California, visual or otherwise.

On my '85 Z51, the technicians always had to floor it around the block to heat the cats up enough to pass the sniffer. But maybe that was just an excuse to drive someone's Corvette hard with their permission, ha.
