I tried this with my cat, Amelia w/ mixed results. When we moved into our house with a yard, I bought her a leash. I eased her into it gently and gradually--she didn't seem to mind it. Then I got brave, took a lawn chair and book into the yard. She was so excited--just sat in one spot smelling grass. SO I wrapped the leash around the chair leg and settled in. Just then, hubby came home and walked around the side house (instead of out the door we came out)--my cat was so confused and startled--she went over me, down the back out the chair, slid out of her harness and bolted around the house. DH backpedaled the way he came, but I knew where she was going--DH lets her out on the front porch--she understand where that was. I bolted through the house for the front door--and she couldn't get inside fast enoughNo more leash--she just sits on the front porch with supervision (against my wishes, DH does it when I'm not home and then I have to listen to her scream at the front door--and clean up the vomited grass!)
Here she is, helping with a photo of bicycle shoes for a post.......
