Mary, before you dismiss using a soft e-collar take a look at this one
Comfy cone (More info about it here)

Or maybe one of these two recovery collars which are a different design..
Inflatable Recovery Collar for Cats

Edit. I can fully understand your reluctance to try any of them on Yodie, I think perhaps I would be too given what could happen if they didn't work. {{big hugs}}
They both look so comfortable but I am leery, I'll admit. Plus Yodie gets so much food inside her collar when she eats that I have to wipe it down every time. If I have to take her collar off to wash it each time, she could do some damage to her incision. I thank you, though, for researching this for me and for posting it. My little girl appreciates it, too.
