I think as a 9 year old you should keep a cats collar on firmly so it does not fall off. But make sure it's comfortable for your cat! Somewhere in between where the collar will not just fall off by accident, but loose enough so that the cat can get it off in case of an emergency.

If your finger fits easily, without causing gasping or stress on the cat's part, then it is in a good position. Check it using this method as the cat grows to make sure it does not become too small and uncomfortable.

One idea would be to check the length of the E-collar - it should reach from where it rests on the cat's neck to about 1mm past the end of his nose. If the E-collar is too long, he's much more likely to fight it and pull it off. You could also tape the clasp closed, with the understanding that the clasp is there to prevent your cat from hanging himself on his collar if he gets caught by it.
