I'll leave the link anyway, in the hope you can find something similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C93LKV5F - sadly it seems to be from one of those fly-by-night brands so I don't really like your chances.

You definitely want something a bit thicker / padded though, anything that's just straight straps seems to get wiggled out of. I can see how the dog harness you've got (likely designed with a chihuahua in mind, where neck straps have to be avoided) is a bit too much fabric for a cat's comfort though.

This said, the biggest expression of displeasure I got to the harness was the cats flopping over and pretending their back legs didn't work.

Once outside mine seems to very much be a "sniffing the flowers" type of cat, just wanders around near the house taking in the new sights and smells, chewing on a bit of grass, etc. Being an indoor cat, even walking on grass seems to be an experience he doesn't 100% vibe with. At least I've not had to retrieve him out of a tree, I guess?

I tried carrying him 20 paces further from the house and he just made his way straight back to safety. Not with the biggest sense of urgency ever seen, but clearly headed back toward the familiar: https://imgur.com/a/PawWQLT

Best of luck in your search.

Nini did the little flop over and not move when i first pit the harness on her, but she seems to have accepted it and started moving around/climbing the apartment. As i said, I'll hit up a pet shop when i am in the "city" tomorrow (how did i reachthe point where i felt that Toledo was a "bug city '?!?) and take them out back with me tomorrow. Nini's mom was a spoiled barn cat, so she's my little panpered princess. My torti, Boudica, was a stray kitten when i found her, so i think she will be more open to the wonders of my neighborhood. I'll talk to my vet next time i tale them in, and keep a close eye on them whenever o take them outside just to be safe
