My cat Charlie really loves the outdoors, but I don't feel safe letting him out. My other cat, Crumbs, can go in the back yard with me and will stay close, never trying to go over the fence, but Charlie wants to go farther away and explore the neighborhood (yes, he's neutered). I carry him around the yard in my arms so he can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine a bit, but this is not really a long-term solution. He gets very upset when Crumbs and the dog get to go out and he doesn't.
I plan to try either a harness to take him out with me in the yard (this would let him explore more of the yard, as he can go wherever I go), or one of those pop-up cat tents (so he can stay out longer and I'll have my hands free to do other things). Any opinions on which is better? What do your cats like best?
