Does my cat need a e-collar after spay surgery?

My cat got spayed yesterday and I have been supervising her since. She tried to lick the wound (which is sealed using surgery glue) yesterday night but I said no and she stopped. She hasn't licked or bitten it at all. So should I play it safe and put the e-collar on her or should I just make her comfortable and not do so because she hasn't licked her wound at all? Thanks!

    Unless you're going to watch the cat 24/7 OR if you want to spend the money having her closed up again, you will put the collar on her. Obviously the cat is going to rip that open - especially as it gets itchier as it heals. But the vet would have told you how important it is. Your choice whether you listen or not.
