I took her outside today holding her and she got pretty vocal. Her tail puffed out and she was ready to come back in. If she really doesn't like it outside I won't push the issue...but I think the fresh air and sunshine would be good for her. She was ok until I left the deck...then she got noisey so she may be content with staying up on the deck.... and thats not a bad thing.
You are doing the right thing by taking things easy.

Going outside for the first time is very scary.

Our Tigs looked at the sky and laid down on the ground and cried, we whisked him back inside asap.

Five minutes later he was headbutting the now-locked cat flap wanting to go outside ?!?WTF

But in conclusion only take her as far as she wants to go.
