omg I love her Halloween hardness, we got my cat one with fishes because we have fishes also and I thought it would be cute can't wait to take her outI have three different harnesses. The first one she is in her Halloween costume in a mesh harness. That is the one she currently uses. I also have a jacket-type harness that she sometimes wears, and the last harness she grew out of. Luna loves to go on walks. She tries to run out the door all the time, so I keep a collar on her and she is microchipped. I have to pick her up and carry her back in the house because she would stay outside all day.
I will, hopefully we can take her out on Saturday..
motylek - As you (and your boyfriend) can see, "leash-walking" is common practise, and cat people will go to nearly any lengths to ensure the safety of the cats they Love so much. I hope that you'll stick around, and let us know how your kitty's safe outdoor experiences turn out - hopefully in pictures!

Where did you take her, if you don’t mind me asking?So we took Chloe out on Saturday but it didn't last long because she was scared, so I decided to do it again once it gets more warmer.
Norachan - Little Boy seems to be the cat that everyone Loves, and it's easy to see why; what a beauty!I live in the middle of nowhere and have a cat who thinks he's a dog, so I can take Little Boy out for walks without a harness or leash. We just walk around the block but he enjoys it, summer or winter.

Remember that it's not only the startling things that can cause the sudden movements in cats.I know what you mean di and bob , about cats getting scared or startled by something when they are in the harness and try to get out. I strongly advise avoiding places where startling may occur. For Speedy, that is the front lawn because of the fast and sometimes very noisy traffic, especially trucks. Once, she was startled by a loud truck and did a flip in the harness and I don't want that to happen again. She is nice and calm in the backyard, and loves her adventures there. If an animal were to approach, I would definitely pick her up because fear will set in and that causes a struggle with the harness. I feel comfortable with the vest harness, but now the figure 8 harness that tightens if the cat tries to escape like di and bob mentioned is something I will definitely look into!
All this being said, I do wish you much success motylek ! The best times of the year for me are the times I can go walking with Speedy! Keep at it, it does take time and please let us know how you do.
Zoe looks a lot like my girl, Chicken.Zoe on the front lawn.
