We took her outside today. She had fun sniffing around and chewing on grass, but it was a lil wet out, so she was ready to go in pretty quickly

Glad she is comfortable with the harness. Did she accept it easily, or did you have to introduce it slowly? One of our cats is quite happy with a harness, whilst the other absolutely freaks out if you try to put it on her.

I actually braided her a tiny one to start getting her used to wearing one when she was tiny

That's a great idea. Glad it worked.

Thanks! She traveled everywhere with us for the first year of her life, so as soon as she was big enough for a real one, we had her ready for it

I can't believe I missed this!!! Bitty adventure !!! Unfortunately Pinto has been growing older, and has having trouble outside. He's turning 10, and my sister made the tough decision to keep him as an indoor only cat. Many times over the years we have tried to train him with the harness, but he outright hates it.

Hes been adapting well. My sister has bought a lot of bird feeders that attach to the windows to turn them into "cat tvs", and he loves watching them. She will also open the window (it has a screen) and pinto loves to smell the outside, especially after it has rained.

I support inside only cats. Outside is dangerous to them and they're dangerous to the endemic bird populations. Bitty only goes on lil walks on her harness. I love that he gets those enrichments, tho! I bet he's a happy boi
