Aha, betcha that's it <blush>.

There is something that IDs that I can't turn off, but now that I 
have a plate for that I'll probably figure it out also :-).

Not sure how that would work, first you have to be able to tie them 
back to back, which may well be problimatical :-).  As gentle as 
the four we have are, without sufficient CBA (Cat Body Armor) *I* 
wouldn't want to try it while they were concious :-).

The easier approach to this problem is simpler:  Just bring along a 
buttered piece of toast - it *always* lands butter side down :-).  
Tried it once, consistant for the 7 pieces I tried before my mother 
noticed and well, lets not go there :-).

Thanks & take care, Vikki.
