Weeze-
Your kitty shouldn't have to drag her head around! There are many ways to fashion an elizabethan collar - we used to make them out of the stuff that lampshades are made out of when I worked at a vet clinic. You can buy some really nice soft ones, too, that are much more lightweight and comfortable - here's some links for purchasing or making your own:

Of course, ordering on line won't help Tiger today, but just to let you know that any pet store carries a variety of E collars. Hope this helps to make her more comfortable if she's still needing it.
