It really is, but
when will I be able to wear it as intended?

Haha, I was lucky with my lot, I could wear cuddly stuff from the outset, even furry slippers with all of them! Squidge does like to carry my slippers around, given the chance, but none of them ever really attacked them. Wellies were a different matter, and my Sorel Joan of Arctic boots with the fluffy tops were the Most Fun Ever. Even now, Squidge will try to steal gloves and hats when we're putting them on. But once they're on, she settles down.
Of course, once you've got
this puppy used to the dressing gown, it will almost be time to get your next one, and so it starts again
