I know the feeling of worrying about your furbabies. Although Dusty came already spayed, we did have Jack taken in to be neutered, and the others I was fortunate enough to assist with their surgeries!
Depends on the individual cat how long it takes until they bounce back after surgery, anywhere from a few hours to a couple days.
It is important to limit the activity for the first few days, and to check the incision area daily for signs of infection (excessive swelling, pus drainage, etc). If you see signs of infection or anything you may be concerned about, call your vet. They are there to ease your mind and help you.
At our hospital we don't send most spay/neuters home with e-collars unless we have to, and that's very rare. My own cats never had one and only one (Cami) did any licking on the incision area which did require a round of antibiotics, but everything healed just fine in the end.
And as a side note to all of you that have to leave your critters at the vets at any time.....The people there love animals and I'm sure your furbabies get lots of petting and sweet talking while they are there. I can't tell you how many pets I've gotten rather attatched to while they've stayed with us, believe me they got ALOT of attention from me! lol Many times the ones that come in crying or whining when mommy leaves them, end up being the best purr machines or tail waggers later in the day, many of them cease whining once they are settled in their cages, and a few pats on the head or ear scratching never hurts either lol. ;)

Sorry the update took so long . Well she came home about 5:30 yesterday evening. The doctors told me that she would be groggy for a while , they were wrong. She came home and the first thing she did was take off after her catnip mouse and started trying to roll around. It was funny because they had to put an e-collar on her. She kept trying to get at her incision yesterday when at the vets. She is being very good. The only problem is trying to keep her from jumping onto or off of things . Well without further ado *** PICS***
