This cat I have is so weird. Anyway, my husband and I think she could
adapt well to going for walks outside, so we're going to get her a
harness & leash and try it out.

Does she need more vaccines? My vet doesn't like to give too many
vaccines because of the risks of sarcoma and autoimmune disease. So
she's had distemper shots, & something else, but not FIP.

Can she get anything bad just by going outside on a leash and eating
grass? Should I get more shots for her?

Thanks.

You won't be taking the cat for a walk, but rather the cat will be
walking you.

It could turn out to be as much fun as getting a stubborn donkey to move.

Oh, I believe that. Still doesn't answer my question, though.
Thanks.

I think your cat will be fine with the vaccinations it currently has as long
as she doesn't come into close contact with other cats. Sounds like you'll
be keeping an eye on her when she's outside, so you should be okay.
