Try a Pet Stroller---they're great!

kitten_kaboodle, I wouldn't use a harness, unless you have a very laid-back cat and it's in a controlled environment like a fenced backyard. As other's have mentioned too many things can go wrong and it's not worth the risk.

Another alternative you can try is a Pet Stroller. I have one and the cats love it. They feel safe screened in from passing dogs on leashes (in fact a lot of dogs don't even notice them unless I stop to chat). And they have the benefit of getting sunlight and seeing different things. We live adjacent to a park and they love to go through there. They like it so much that if I say "Who wants to go for walkies?" they'll actually jump in the stroller ready to go. Other times they will sit in it, telling me they want to go! I usually pick a warm day (room temp or more) and not too windy. They don't like the wind too much particularly if it's cool. Most pet stores carry them---get a small dog size.
