Although neutering can be used as a general term, it is generally called "spaying." Female cats get spayed, male cats get neutered.
As for prices, it will depend on your area and veterinarian. Around here (in Canada) it is around 150-200$. You can also check at your local animal shelter if they have any financial assistance programs for getting your cat fixed.
Cats that have been spayed or neutered cannot reproduce. Spaying removes the female cat's reproductive organs, while neutering removes the male cat's testes, preventing mating and reproduction.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I think there are two different kinds of neutering: one where the cat keeps his testicles, and one where he doesn't. The male cat that I had when I was growing up still had his testicles, even though he was neutered. That cat died, and four years ago, when I graduated college and settled into my own apartment, I got two cats from a shelter: an adult male, and a female kitten. The adult male had already been neutered by the time I got him. And he does not have his testicles. I was not involved with the neutering of either of those male cats: the one I have now was already neutered when I got him, and my parents took care of the neutering of the other one, since I was a kid. So, I know there are two different kinds of neutering procedures, but I don't know much more than that, unfortunately.
Yes. They will be able to trust you. I know because I have lived with cats all my life and I had a cat that was very aggressive and over time because we were so kind to him. Good luck with your cat!
Neutering refers to the surgical removal of a male cat's testes, while spaying refers to the surgical removal of a female cat's ovaries and uterus. As such, neutered cats are already sterilized, so they do not need to be spayed.
Male cats are called toms or tomcats, while female cats are called queens.
I think you mean Neutered? :P Well cat's get Neutered because the owner does not wish for the cat to get other female cats pregnant. Neutering is for Male cats and Spaying is for Female Cats. If you would like to breed cats, then don't get them neutered/spayed! If you do not get your cat neutered, it doesn't mean that it's going to get female cats pregnant, you'll just have to keep a close eye on them. I have noticed that when a cat is in heat, it gets rather annoying! But that's just me! :)
Strictly from a population standpoint it still makes a difference. Most cats maintain a territory, they can overlap but they will defend the area they live in. If a male is defending a territory and is unfixed he will try to impregnate every available female. If he is fixed he will still run off other males but be unable to mate.
Cats that have been spayed or neutered cannot reproduce. Spaying removes the female cat's reproductive organs, while neutering removes the male cat's testes, preventing mating and reproduction.
It doesn't matter - normal room temperature will be fine. Male cats recover quite quickly from the neutering procedure.

Neutering For A Male;Spaying For Female.
nope
yes female cats shed more then male cats
Castrating works when you remove the testes from a male. Spaying works when you remove the ovaries and the uterus from a female. So, neutering works if those things are removed.
Female cats are called a Queen, male cats are called a Tom.
Have you checked if they are already de-sexed? Neutered and spayed cats cannot breed. Also, an intact female will not be interested in a male until she is in heat. That being said, unless you are an experienced breeder, you should not be breeding your cats; there are many risks to breeding, with the worst losing both the mother and kittens. Cats do not need a litter, and by neutering and spaying them, you reduce the risk of illnesses and infections that can develop in an intact cat.
