Belfast is the sort of place you could walk an elephant and no one would bat an eyelid, though you might be followed by a line of small children (then you would have a crocodile as well as an elephant - sorry couldn't resist that :roll: )

Joking aside I would try harder with the diet. Few cats are happy in a harness. They are OK in emergencies - if you have to travel and take your cat. But on a regular basis it would probably stress her too much.

I know how difficult it is to put a cat on a diet. Our Gracie is like a little pig bin. She just does the rounds hoovering up what the others leave.

Please, if she's at all scared when you take her out, please don't force her. Some cats don't go out for a reason, ie they find it too frightening, and if she's not used to going out, it may take her a long time to adjust, so please let her adjust to this in her own time, and if it really scares her, don't force her.

Obviously wherever you take her will have to be free from roaming dogs, as there won't be anywhere for her to run to when she's on a leash. I don't know Belfast at all, so can't offer more advice than this really.

You could try exercising her in the house with active toys like laser pens, Da BIrd, or anything that gets her running about.
