She went exploring outside on her new harness and leash for about 20 minutes, and she handled it all really well! I carried her to a quiet part of the complex behind our townhouse, and she sniffed, explored, watched a hummingbird hover just above her head, and scratched on some trees. I picked her up a couple of times when she went a bit too far into the bushes, and she was purring whenever I picked her up, so was obviously pretty happy!
When I brought her back in, she had a drink, then settled down for a nap quite contentedly.
I came back from the mailbox just now, and our neighbour Carol was on our doorstep (our doorsteps are joined) with Cleo - the mother of the kittens we fostered a little while ago (Carol adopted Cleo, which was great!). Stumpy was sitting in the window watching, so I let her come out as well, and her and Cleo went nose to nose, Stumpy gave a little his, they went nose to nose again, and all was good! Looks like Stumpy has a new friend now :-)

Lawks! I had to go and create a blogger account just so's I could comment!
Anyway, congratulations on getting your cat INTO a harness. We bought several for our cats (we thought it might be easier to get them to the vet like that) but as soon as they strapped in they started torpedoeing across the kitchen in an effort to somehow roll out of the harness.
Although this was intenseley funny it wasn't really very useful if you want to actually walk the cat anywhere. It was OK if you wanted to stop them going anywhere though because they'd just roll into a wall and then spin in place :)
