Letting Your Cat Outside: How To Safely Give Them Time Outdoors
Welcome to Pet Peeves, a monthly series that aims to provide pet care solutions and expert advice for challenging scenarios that involve your beloved animal companions. If you have a cat, chances are you've noticed their propensity for trying to escape out of any open door or window possible—and perhaps you've considered giving them a little taste of the outdoors to satisfy their natural instincts to explore. While it might be tempting to give your cats free rein to the outdoors, letting your cat outside without supervision exposes them to a host of risk factors: predators, the potential of being hit by a vehicle, getting into fights with other cats and many other dangerous situations that can lead to serious injuries, disease or death. Letting your cat outside safely may require being patient with harness training until they're ... More comfortable wearing one. Illustration: Forbes / Image: Getty 'There's a lot of evidence that [cats] live longer, healthier lives when they aren't given unrestricted access to the outdoors,' says Annie Valuska, principal scientist on Purina's pet behavior team. 'That said, if we're not going to give them unrestricted outdoor access, the burden becomes ours to make up for what they're missing by not getting to go out.' There are plenty of ways, however, to safely give your cat experiences outside. 'I think being outdoors can be an amazing source of enrichment,' says Jennifer Van de Kieft, owner of Cat Advocate, a feline behavior consulting company. 'Most of what I see in my practice are behavior issues, and so much of it is related to just boredom. Boredom is stressful.' Allowing your cat outside so they can smell and see novel things—under supervision—can be a huge benefit to their overall well-being. I chatted with Valuska and Van de Kieft, as well as relied on my own expertise (as someone who has lived with cats for nearly four decades) to provide some insights into how you can indulge in your cat's natural desire to adventure outdoors while also minimizing risk. If you've thought about using a harness to allow your kitty to explore, look for one that's easy to put on your cat but difficult for them to get out of, like this Kitty Holster cat harness . When it comes to actually getting the harness on your cat's body, don't expect to simply place it on your cat and be ready to go within minutes, as you would with a dog. You'll need to be prepared to take things slow in order to successfully get them used to the idea of wearing one. Valuska notes that it may be easier to harness train a kitten than an adult cat, but either way: 'It's going to be really important to go at that cat's pace. You might have to start just by showing them the harness.' Van de Kieft echoes that it's all about breaking things down into baby steps and creating positive associations along the way. This means giving them treats when you show them the harness, or using any kind of positive reinforcement that they prefer; that could include brushing them, petting them or giving them playtime if they're not a treat-motivated cat. After reinforcing your cat's every interaction with the harness, you might want to just touch your cat with the harness, doing this on several different occasions and again pairing that with something positive. Once you're ready to try actually putting the harness on, do so for short intervals at a time, providing treats or other reinforcements along the way. Some cats will comfortably wear a harness in a couple days and others may need a few weeks or a month-plus to get there. The safest place for using a harness on your cat is within your own backyard or outdoor space, and you'll of course want to make sure any plants or flowers within reach are nontoxic to cats as well. While this still leaves them vulnerable to aerial predators, or even animals like coyotes that can make their way into your yard, if you're supervising them at all times that is much less likely to happen. Public spaces like parks come with additional risk, but if that's your only option, you'll just want to be vigilant. 'What I worry about if you're taking the cat into a park … is dogs that are not being properly supervised,' says Valuska. 'If you're going to do that, I think it's possible to still do it safely. You just have to be aware of the risks, and scanning at all times and really keeping that in mind—so that you're ready to act and get the cat up and with you away from a dog or any other terrestrial animal.' Bringing a carrier along with you if you're taking your cat beyond the confines of your home can also be valuable for added safety. Van de Kieft likes to use a carrier for several reasons: 'Maybe there's a big dog who's a little bit out of control. Getting your cat in a carrier and kind of having them in a safe space is so much better than your cat freaking out and maybe Houdini-ing out of the harness," she says. 'I really feel strongly about taking some kind of carrier with you that your cat's familiar with.' (I've had the EliteField carrier pictured below for years, and it's not only comfortable to carry but it has also held up very well after frequent use.) She recommends that instead of walking your cat out the door while wearing a harness, like you would a dog, that you instead place them in the carrier and then head off, taking them out of the carrier when you've reached your destination. This also allows them to have access to a safe space if, for instance, you're bringing them to a park and there's too much stimulation for their liking; they can always just retreat back to the carrier. Before giving your cat any access to the outdoors, even if it's just a private catio, you'll want to make sure they're up to date on their vaccines as well as on flea, tick and heartworm preventatives. (Most veterinarians will likely encourage you to keep them on these preventatives even if they're an indoor-only cat, as mosquitos, fleas and ticks can make their way inside your home too.) If you've adopted your pet from a shelter or rescue, your kitty will probably already be microchipped, but if they aren't, it's imperative to go ahead and get that done as well. If your cat ever gets lost, their finder can easily bring them to any local veterinarian or shelter to scan them for a microchip and ensure a safe return home. The Case For A Catio Truly committed cat guardians may want to consider installing a catio (that is, an enclosure for their cats) if they have adequate outdoor space to do so. 'I think the absolute safest option for cats to have outdoor access is some sort of fully enclosed catio,' says Valuska. 'That is going to keep them safe from any potential predators, and they're going to be close to you so you can supervise them at all times.' While one option is to hire a local business to build a custom catio, depending on how handy you are, you may want to craft one yourself; a variety of DIY catio plans are available across the internet. 'In an ideal catio, you would have vertical space, you would have hiding spots, comfortable resting spots, maybe scratching options,' says Van de Kieft. There are also plenty of premade options , from window perches if you're not working with a ton of space to larger, walk-in setups you can purchase from sites like Chewy. Is A Cat Stroller Right For You? Another option for giving your cat a taste of the outdoors without requiring them to walk around on the ground is a cat stroller. I use a stroller to take my cats to vet appointments, and it's a handy way to not only transport them longer distances by foot but also to let them view and smell the world around them while being enclosed in a safe space. While some of my cats have absolutely loved their stroller rides, others have been a little more hesitant or nervous. Van de Kieft corroborates this, noting that going outside isn't necessarily for every cat. As enthusiastic as some cat guardians may be to provide this experience to their pet, 'I think you really have to evaluate whether or not your cat's personality is a match for it,' she says. The Tavo Pets Maeve + Roscoe 3-In-1 Pet Stroller is a high-end option I love that doubles as a carrier and car seat. If you aren't yet sure if a stroller is for you and you don't want to invest too much in one, Pet Gear strollers are also quality products with a lower price tag. Whether you're taking them outside on a harness or in a stroller, be attuned to your cat's body language throughout the process to ensure that every step of the way is a positive experience for them. For instance, if they exhibit fearful-type behavior like dilated eyes, a stiff body with their tail tucked or hiding, don't force them to do anything further. On the other hand, if your cat seems excited, with their tail up and a loose body, you can feel comfortable continuing.

From 'Side Project' to 8-Figure Business: Left On Friday
Laura Low Ah Kee and Shannon Savage couldn't find the product they needed to fit their active lifestyles, so they created it. When Laura Low Ah Kee and Shannon Savage met while working at Lululemon in 2005, the Vancouver, Canada-based athletic apparel brand wasn't yet the global phenomenon it is today. Image Credit: Courtesy of Left On Friday. Laura Low Ah Kee, left, and Shannon Savage, right. "The term 'athleisure' didn't exist yet," Savage tells Entrepreneur. "This whole world of women's athletic apparel did not exist yet. So it was a really cool time to be involved in the company, and we just always had this love for this active lifestyle and product and fashion." Low Ah Kee and Savage both took on executive roles at Lululemon; Low Ah Kee went on "many journeys" during her tenure but primarily focused on merchandising, and Savage worked on the design side. Related: After This LGBTQ Couple Lost Their Jobs Within 30 Days of Each Other, They Started a Business — With Goats. It Led to More Than $150 Million. After a sabbatical partially spent in Maui surfing and kiteboarding, Low Ah Kee was catching up with Savage when inspiration struck. She'd worn Lululemon sports bras in lieu of typical swimwear for all of her water activities because they performed the way other products on the market couldn't. What if they leveraged their expertise to create swimwear that merged fashion and function? The duo continued their careers at Lululemon and worked on their passion product on the side, coming up with an exhaustive list of everything they wanted in an ideal bathing suit. But it wasn't until they left their jobs at the athleisure giant that they got serious about starting a business. "We wanted a name that had one part nostalgia and one part pure spontaneity." In 2017, amid a "booming" swimwear industry that still wasn't designing the fashion-forward, high-performing products they wanted to see, the co-founders seized the opportunity to launch their own premium active swimwear brand: Left On Friday, headquartered in Victoria, Canada. " Laura and I are both the ultimate weekend warriors," Savage says, "and we're always off to have an adventure somewhere. We wanted a name that had one part nostalgia and one part pure spontaneity, a name that people immediately identify with, and it captures this idea of the ultimate weekend going away. You don't know where you're going. Grab one swimsuit, you're good." Image Credit: Courtesy of Left On Friday The co-founders knew that "any great product starts with great fabric," so they set out to find one that could address several major issues they saw within the existing swimwear market. Related: The 'Hustle' He Started Out of His Station Wagon Became a Nationwide Business That's About to Hit $300 Million: 'Everything We Do Is Pretty Simple' The fabric had to be compressive when wet and dry and provide "smoothing coverage." "We did really find that most swim out there, once it gets wet, you do feel quite naked, but not naked in a great way," Savage explains. "It shows every lump and bump." Additionally, the material had to be durable enough to hold up to an active lifestyle without sacrificing the handfeel. The goal was to design with a fabric that "as soon as you touch it, you're like, I need to put this on my body, I want to experience this product," Savage says. A lot of trial and error went into finding the fabric that could do it all. The co-founders ordered countless fabrics to experiment with; a friend's mother sewed the first designs in her basement, and Low Ah Kee and Savage tested them out in different climates, from the desert to the beach. Finally, they landed on their Smoothing Dream Fabric. "It started as a bikini side project and then became Left On Friday." Then it was a matter of coming up with a line of styles that each served a distinct purpose. The co-founders self-funded their business, investing their own money in the fabric, inventory and "making the best product possible." " Shannon and I really hustled, [but] more from like workload [hustle] versus hustle, get money," Low Ah Kee recalls. "It started as a bikini side project and then became Left On Friday." By leveraging their extensive existing skill sets in the activewear space, Low Ah Kee and Savage launched their business online — and it was "immediately profitable." Left On Friday continued self-funded growth via its ecommerce channel for a while, but eventually, the co-founders wanted a board of advisors "with skin in the game." "The goal of the advisors was to get some advice, to keep us accountable, to pull us out of the day-to-day, which we were very much in," Low Ah Kee explains. "So we surrounded ourselves with three incredible advisors who we knew from our community, and they put in a little bit of money." Image Credit: Courtesy of Left On Friday Related: Why Every Entrepreneur Needs a Board of Advisors When the pandemic hit, Left on Friday had to navigate supply chain challenges, but the brand ultimately came out stronger and with more funds raised on the other side. "We're a very cyclical, seasonal business," Savage says, "so when you get something like the pressure cooker of Covid, all the supply chains shift, so when we get a huge inventory drop in October, we can't sell that. That ended up happening. All the timelines got shuffled, so we needed money when we didn't have money." Left On Friday hasn't raised more money since that point, and Low Ah Kee and Savage remain the brand's majority owners. " The uniforms made such a splash. They were going viral in the Olympic Village." Another exciting breakthrough came in 2024, when Left On Friday designed the official national team uniforms for Canada's women's beach volleyball team for the Paris Olympics and World Tour. Savage designed a piece that lived up to the brand's commitment to fashion and function: the one-shoulder suit left the players' hitting arms free. Image Credit: Coliena Rentmeester "It was [a] career highlight, life highlight, brand highlight, everything that happened on this stage in the epicenter of fashion at the biggest sporting event that ever happens," Savage says. " The uniforms made such a splash. They were going viral in the Olympic Village, and everybody was talking about them. From a business standpoint, we got global awareness." Left On Friday saw a 136% increase in international traffic during the Olympics and a sustained sales growth of 67% in its native Canada in early 2025, per the company. The brand renewed its partnership with the team for another four years through 2028. Related: This Couple Went From Olympic Champions to Small Business Owners. Here's How They're Bringing a Gold Medal Approach to Their Franchise. In response to customer demand, Left On Friday has also expanded into other premium activewear, from sweatshirts to tights, playsuits and more, keeping its dedication to fashion and performance at the forefront of every design. Now, Left On Friday is an eight-figure brand, and Low Ah Kee and Savage look forward to its continued growth in the premium activewear arena — and the chance to provide products that fit into women's active lives. " I love that there's still so much untapped potential in the market, in apparel and just in the space in general," Savage says. " It's a very intimate place. Not everyone always feels comfortable in that place, so I love that we're creating this product [that allows] women to have the ability to live their best life, if that's being an Olympian or if that's just going out and playing some casual volleyball on the beach."

Garden Party Attire: Shop Pieces Perfect for Lawns, Rosé, and Romance
Below, our definitive Vogue guide to garden party attire—what to wear, what to avoid, and the best pieces to shop now in every category. Mini Dresses There's something irresistibly flirty about a mini dress when worn beneath sun-dappled trees. Garden parties are among the rare occasions where a shorter hemline can feel both whimsical and refined—especially when styled. This season, consider Magda Butrym's painterly floral off-shoulder silhouette or Khaite's raspberry-cream Pranta slip with architectural lines. For a touch of play, Pucci's print mesh and Staud's pleated embellished poplin mini bring energy to the lawn. Style with a raffia clutch and a block heel to balance whimsy with polish. Midi Dresses Consider the midi dress the true workhorse of garden party attire. Neither too prim nor too revealing, it offers the ideal length for moving gracefully between lawn chairs and canapé trays. This summer's highlights include Prada's butter-yellow pleated sheath, Stella McCartney's lace-trimmed satin midi with boudoir undertones, and Bernadette's painterly belted dress with a demure boat neckline. For a high-low moment, Mango's strapless floral option strikes a sweet note. Pair these with kitten heels and a bit of glinting jewelry, and you're well-suited for weddings, showers, or any garden gathering that demands a touch of ceremony. Maxi Dresses If the invitation leans formal—or if you simply wish to make an entrance—there's no greater ally than a floor-sweeping dress. Cara Cara's pleated strapless gown in crisp floral cotton evokes the grandeur of an English conservatory, while Sir's slinky silk slip dress printed with muted botanicals offers a subtler take. For those drawn to color, La DoubleJ's Penelope dress in zesty yellow reads like a walking sunbeam. Prefer stripes? Try the Laura linen sundress for a casual but considered statement. These sweeping silhouettes require little else—perhaps a sleek bun and delicate gold jewelry to finish the look. Separates While dresses may dominate, separates offer a welcome alternative, especially for those looking to wear their pieces long after the party ends. This season, Cara Cara's pleated cotton poplin skirt and matching tie-front shirt make a case for coordinated drama, while Simon Miller's striped poplin button-up and Pia pants nod to playful minimalism. Isabel Marant's tiered halterneck top and paisley-print mini skirt offer a more bohemian spirit—ideal for more relaxed affairs. Each combination can be just as garden-appropriate as a dress, particularly when styled with personality: a bold hair clip, a vintage brooch, or oversized sunglasses. Agua by Agua Bendita Reserva bustier top $390 NET-A-PORTER Agua by Agua Bendita Bergamota midi skirt $890 NET-A-PORTER Accessories No garden ensemble is complete without the finishing touches, and this is where whimsy and utility meet. Staud's ribbon-trimmed sunhat is both sculptural and practical, while Mango's braided leather bag and Loewe's floral cotton pouch bring texture without distraction. For evening affairs, consider Prada's fringed crochet clutch in a grassy green. Add polish with Bottega Veneta's cat-eye sunglasses and Lelet NY's delicate claw clip—accessories that feel intentional without being overwrought. The rule here is simple: your accoutrements should complement the garden, not compete with it.
