My kitten hates her harness. How to make walks easy and stress-free?

Question

Hello! I have a 9-month-old kitten. I have 2 questions: 1. What is the best food brand, type (wet or dry), the best times to feed & how often? 2. I'm trying to walk my cat (with a harness). The harness is quite difficult to get on, and she really hates getting it on, but I want a good way of letting her know "we are going outside now!", and it is not something that is uncomfortable for her (the harness). Any solutions? Thanks for your help! (Sorry for so many of the questions!). Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed | 9 months and 18 days old

I recommend foods that follow WSAVA guidelines which includes Hill’s Science Diet, Purina, Royal Canin, Iams and Eukanuba. There is some evidence that wet food may have some health benefits - many cats do best on a combo. I would recommend using mealtime to help get her used to having he harness out on. If it’s possible to put it on in stages you could slowly get her used to it. The trick is to go slow and stop if she’s getting upset. https://www.wsava.org/WSAVA/media/Arpita-and-Emma-editorial/Selecting-the-Best-Food-for-your-Pet.pdf
