I can't imagine a vet using a local anesthetic for the procedure. It's pretty important that the cat not move during the operation and you couldn't risk having it squirming around. Cats are neutered when they are young enough so that anesthesia risk is minimal. Try to avoid the use of ketamine if you can as it's effects are long-lasting, can cause hallucinations etc. The gas is much safer and has no aftereffects.

I think they usually use general anesthesia, but that's really a question for your vet. They will know what's best for your cat.

This is a question for your vet, but I believe male cats require only local and femal general. Female cats require a more serious procedure.

General. Can you imagine trying to hold it down to operate on it if it was just a local block?

Whatever the Vet decides.

You should discuss the different options with your vet and use which ever one you think would be better for your cat.
