All these articles on cats running loose has me wondering - can older
cats adjust to a leash (or harness)?  I have two cats who have lived
all their lives indoors except for a balcony.  (I live in a third-floor
apartment).  They love sitting outside, one of them will even sit in the
rain or snow.  In another year or so, I plan to move to a house, but they'll
be around 5 years old then and I have doubts about their abilities to
fend for themselves out loose.  Has anyone tried to train an older cat
to a leash?
