My cat pulled a stitch and it's bleeding. What to do if I can't see a vet?

Question

My cat got two stitches today and she pulled one up a little as you can tell from the image and it’s bleeding a little bit it wasn’t bleeding before the stitches at all. I tried the e-come but she got it off like 5x times so I did a shirt around her and tied it so she can’t get it undone. I don’t know what to do but I can’t get her back to vet.

Thank you for the picture, it really helps with my answer. The incision still looks like it's together, so you don't need to rush Ella into a vet immediately. Just keep her quiet, and monitor it daily. If the incision comes apart, there is excessive bleeding, it appears infected, or that stitch falls out, have her seen by a vet. I hope this helps.
