The leash isn’t possible.
I want to use the bubble backpack to take them outside. Is it a good idea?

I take my cat Luna for a walk. She would try to dart out the door. SO I put a harness and leash on her. Once we were out she was freaking out. Then she got used to it. Now that I think she is allergic to revolution, and a lot of people are giving me hell for taking her outside; I'm not sure.I used to take Bourbon for a while with a leash but it got so stressful at times when she almost often managed to get away from me. Last time I had to bring her out for some sunshine but I carried her in my arms, still with a leash on.
The other cats are not interested outside. Which is good.
I see those bubble backpacks but as mentioned above cats seem to be not comfie in there, unless probably for a short walk. It looks as if there is not much space inside.
I thought about getting those sweat shirts you can put your cat in.I used to take Bourbon for a while with a leash but it got so stressful at times when she almost often managed to get away from me.

It doesn't matter what you call it, just as long as you give the cat some sort of a cue or warning that you're going to turn the backpack around. It would be rude to do it while they were asleep or if you didn't ask permission first. She can't stand up, but there's more room to stretch out and sleep if there's nothing interesting to look at anyway.
I agreeThose bubble backpacks look like every cat's worst nightmare.
I used to, most were indoor outdoor before but some trained to leash only and others both, mostly in later years. I used to take Angie and Syb in a closed crated on my bicycle as well, just around the block. I have thought of a stroller type thing for Quinn but he is too skittish for a leash outdoors and that type of thing so he is inside only. It can be risky as well because a loose dog can attack your cat on a leash or they can get out of those contraptions. A loose aggressive dog tried to attack my Wiz once on his leash but fortunately he ran under the bushes.The leash isn’t possible.
