I don't have the video of Kronos as a baby yet, but here he is at 5.5 months old out on a walk the other day!

Don't have any, unless you count running and hiding funny. We often only take one out because our second hides as we harness the one who wants to go with.
Ours have without exception gotten spastic legs, twisted spines, stumbling gait and one-sided paralysis all at once when the harness was put on. Looks dramatic, and is very simply cured: harness off, everything normal. So it must be a direct effect on the nervous system

I've not heard a good explanation yet as to why they do that...it's pretty funny tho! I've had some lay with their "straight jacket" on for a long time looking pathetic and insulted, and others will tear around, bumping into the walls and giving me evil looks, while others will take stiff tentative steps right away, then move around like nothing at all....

What a very pretty boy! I like these types of harnesses, too. We also have the walking jackets with velcro straps to teach them to wear them at first; easier to get on since you are not fumbling with straps and buckles.
It can be easier to attach a walking jacket to an unsuspecting kitten as it opens out completely... so might be worth trying as Paige suggests
It is funny how they flop about and make such a fuss as if they can't move properly...but ten minutes later you can distract them with a toy and they forget there's anything there...at least when they are young kittens the distraction with toys works. We try to start them early as they will fit one. Which reminds me that the three here are now 10 weeks old and past due for their jackets to go on!
