Some of them do, some of them don't. Spaying has slightly different effects on different individuals. Some people have said their cats stayed just the same, while others have said their cats gained a lot of weight and became very lazy. Most cats will have to eat less because their metabolism is lower. So if you plan on getting your pet spayed, you might want to give them less food afterwards.
If you are worried about your cat getting fat and lazy, try asking your vet to give your cat a hysterectomy (partial spay) instead of a ovariohysterectomy (full spay). Studies have shown that it will prevent a cat's metabolism from changing, although some vets will not perform this surgery because they don't know how to.
