Swim robe / dressing gown with cat design? Does it exist?!

[shesellsseacats]

DD is obsessed with cats. She starts back at swimming lessons next week (wohoo!) and I need a towelling dressing gown, or a swim poncho / swim robe for her, as they can't get changed in the pool yet.

DD has asked for one with a cat on. Sure, I said, I didn't think it'd be that hard! But cats aren't in, it would appear. Unicorns, sloths, pugs, yes. Cats? No.

Can anyone help? A cat design would be great, or a cat ears - or as a back up, leopard print maybe.

She's tall for her age, she fits size 10-11 clothes - but she's only 8, so still likes designs for kids.

Does anyone have any tips on where to look? Thanks :)

(It need to be in the UK so I can get it delivered in time. There are a bunch on Amazon but they're from China).

Or you could get one of these and a robe in a complimentary colour! I think Plumps final link would be delivered in time though, even if it’s a bit terrifying IMO www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08HYY6TSX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_8F03WARCAEG5WFQHKTVD?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

@Poppins2016

How about this from Vertbaudet?

Thanks that'd be spot on - but it doesn't go up big enough sadly, she needs a 10-11.

Oh that's strange, its saying fastest delivery this Thursday for me

Now, that is a very practical suggestion and she might love it. But - blancmange pink - aaargh!!! (Baby blue not much better!)

A very practical item though as we do need to drive home with her hair wet. And it ticks the cat box. Aaargh! I'm in a practical-item vs hideous-colour turmoil!

Will show DD tomorrow and see what she thinks. Thanks :)

I’ve had a lovey time searching, I like a challenge! God knows what my adverts will be like tomorrow, I don’t have kids and already own a robe!

4th - 7th June

Oh, bother! I'd had age 9-10 in my head, not 10-11! 🙄

@Plump82

4th - 7th June

Yes, this one is 4-7 June for me too, (it was the other ones I liked that took longer, sorry I should have been clearer!)

I'm not keen on this one though as I'm also a bit terrified of it!

Plus I suspect they're made for younger kids and it'll be too small. If you look at the kid modeling one of the other designs, he looks quite young. But DD is size 10-11.

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, you're going to be followed round the internet by cats and robes now

Who knew these existed!

OMG!!!!

Ooh, that looks interesting!

I expected it'd be too small at first glance, but it does say it's large and the DC modelling it look a bit older. Hmmm..... A definite possibility, thanks :)

Fuck me I’m going to get myself some of those 😂

Right, I'm off to bed, hopefully for the whole night and not just a cat nap.

Night all, thanks your help, who knew this would be so hard?!

The description could be clearer. "Large 7 Years - Adult. 80-150cm"

You could message the seller to enquire dimensions. Good luck 😺

What about this? I have one and live in it in Winter, its so comfy!

Would this pass for cat ears?

@Torvean - not sure if you know but your postcode shows in that image

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, keep 'em coming!

None of the above quite right I don't think, though, as it needs to be towelling (not fleece), fit a size 10-11 and arrive by next week.

I had no idea this would be so hard!

@Torvean

No help for you but I bought my 6 month old this last week.

So cute.

That is very cute :)

Oh I know!!

Decathalon have one. It fits my almost 10 year old really well.

The cats are surfing though, is that an issue?
