If you do not clean the stitches, I would not be supised if the stitches got infected or if your cat was not careful and they caught on something.

Your cat was just spayed and she is now licking her stitches Is this normal or should you go get an Elizabethean collar from your vet asap?
It depends how long after the cat was spayed (your vet would have given you instructions as to when to bring in your cat for a checkup.) I did put a small collar on my own cat because of her licking her stitches. Be sure there are no stitch ends poking into the cats skin. I would take the collar off when she was eating or drinking. Some vets disagree, but the saliva of cats and dogs is healing and they used this method when they were once wild. Some cats will heal quicker than others, so it wouldn't hurt if your cat started licking her stitches 3 - 4 days after being spayed to take your pet to the vets.
