Default Castration/neutering requires general anesthetic?

A friend of a mine is a Vet Tech and she told me that where she works, they
just sedate the male cats (and numb them down there of course) and snip snip.
She said that it takes under 5 minutes to do. Each vet may do it differently
but I can't imagine they would put a cat under for an "operation" that takes
under 5 minutes. That certainly would not happen for humans.

I think that's what my veterinarian assistant just told me.

Is that correct, does castration require putting the cat to sleep?

Thank you.


You think they're going to hold still for that under any other
circumstances?
