I tried this with my cats once, but they were not having it at all.

We want them to get used to the harness while they are young. It was surprisingly easy. They ignored the leash completely as soon as they were outside and saw interesting things.

Nice work! Mine were already 3 or 4 by that point so it was too late. ;-;

Is it hopeless for my 3 yo cat to accept a harness?

She never got out so now that I have an accessible garden I would like to try to teach her to use a leash and harness.

I think it depends on the cat tbh. Mine were from the streets, so I think there was a lot "done with this shit, never again" going on.
