Kitten just neutered: cone off, licking stitches, eating litter?

Question

My 3 month old kitten just got neutered , I tried using the cone/collar but he manages to take it off each and every time resulting in licking his stitches what can I do? Also I replaced his usual clay litter to paper pellets and he doesnt even go #1 or #2 but rather eat the pellets. Any suggestions? Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 months and 23 days old | 3 lbs

I would get a soft paper collar at PetCo that you can tighten so he can’t remove it. If it’s been a day or two then go back to his normal litter. I don’t want to break his litter box training, and he could develop a urinary problem if he’s not going regularly. If the incisions are closed then the litter won’t be an issue. In a few days the incisions will heal. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Hunter.
