is my cats spay incision healing okay? can i take her cone off?

my cat got spayed on march 15th (11 days ago) and i’m unsure what to do about her wearing a cone. her incision site has a medium sized lump that is very firm and i am concerned for her. the place that spayed her doesn’t open until monday. the lump doesn’t seem to be causing her pain, and she is acting completely normal in terms of eating, drinking, affection, etc. (sorry for bad photos, she didn’t sit very still.)

That looks as if its healed fine. I think its safe to remove the cone but if she constantly licks the site, a little is usual, then replace the cone for a couple more days. The lump is normal after spaying, will disappear in a short while and is painless but if you are worried or it gets bigger send a photo to your vet for his opinion.

thank you for easing my concern about my kitty. i will remove her cone and monitor her closely.
