Neutering is non-invasive, so the male won't even bat an eye. Spaying used to be fairly invasive, but because of modern breakthroughs and technology, spaying has become a minor procedure. With males, the vet simply makes an incision on the scrotum and removes the testicles. Some people lose more blood when they prick their finger than the male loses during the procedure. The male is then given a topical ointment and they're lethargic for only a few hours. The most a male will feel is a mild ache from where their manhood once resided. Within 6 to 12 hours, they'll be back to their old selves.
For females, they get a 1/4 inch incision in their lower abdomen (just big enough to fit a pinky-finger in) through skin and fat and the ovaries are removed. Then, the surgical incision is sultured shut and the female is given some topical ointment on her stitches and is sent home. She'll have some minor discomfort, an ache at the most. Nevertheless, she should be back to herself in less than 24 hours. My cats Elmo and his mother Lil' Bit were fixed one afternoon and were back to their typical "mischief-and-mayhem" the very next morning. (BTW: Lil' Bit's a 4-year-old calico and Elmo's a 3-year-old tabby-coon mix.) They're both the sweetest, lovey-dovey cats. I love dogs too, but I ADORE cats
Now that I've answered one question, let me answer your other question with some statistics. Annually, about 8 million surplus cats and dogs are imprisoned in animal shelters and 4 million of them are euthanized. 4 million innocent creatures jabbed with a syringe filled with lethal drugs and their lifeless bodies thrown into trash cans behind the clinic. With that said, it would be cruel NOT to spay/neuter your furry friends. We can very easily prevent this, if pet owners will take their pet to be fixed. If money is a worry, take my advice and don't take them to a private vet clinic. Humane Society usually charges $35 per pet, included are vaccinations, medications, the procedure and supplies for the pet's recovery. Also, instead of putting a ID collar on your pet, take another $35 and spring for a microchip implant. It's the size of a grain of rice and the most your pet will feel is a brief pinch. That way, you'll never lose track of it.
I apologize if I'm giving advice that you've already taken, but I'm extremely passionate about fair treatment to animals. You see, animals are like people to me and when I see them suffer, my heart literally shatters into a million pieces. It angers me and a part of me dies inside.
Answer 2
Getting your pet fixed isn't considered cruel in any way shape or form. It's no different than when a woman gets her tubes tied, or a man gets a vasectomy. It's simply a choice in how much work you want to put forth towards your pet, and of course what lifestyle your pet will be living. A pet in which you intend to breed you would obviously avoid getting them fixed, but as far as just one house pet, you have to decide if you want to deal with the mess of a pet who isn't fixed. Girls: They have cycles just like women, and trust me, it can get nasty and messy, and they last for a lot longer than a month. Boys: They spray everything they can find, and of course you have to worry about them going around trying to impregnate whatever they can find.
As far as being painful, I don't think it's any different then getting them wormed, or their teeth cleaned etc. in the sense that it does make them sick, and there is a resting period, but it's still necessary sometimes. I mean it is a major surgery, but they bounce right back from it. As long as you pamper them while they're in their resting stage, then they'll understand you did it for the best.

Is there a difference between PET and APET plastic?
There is no difference. PET is polyester, which has a chemical name of polyethylene terephtlalate. PET can be made with the polymers aligned in two primary ways; amorphous or crystalline. Virtually all of what you come in contact with is amorphous with one major exception; microwave food trays, which if made from PET are made from C-PET (crystallized PET). Virtually all clear PET including Mylar and water bottles are made from A-PET (amorphous PET). In many cases the "A" is simply left off.

s spaying and pet desexing are same term?
Yes, 'pet desexing' is an umbrella term that includes both spaying (removal of the ovaries and usually the uterus in females) and neutering (removal of the testicles in males). Both procedures prevent reproduction and can have health and behavioral benefits. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), these surgeries are safe and commonly recommended for controlling pet populations and reducing certain health risks.

Do you have to do paper work to adopt a pet?
If you are adopting from a shelter, the answer is "yes". The paperwork usually has to do with how you are going to pay for the pet, licensing the pet and agreeing to have it neutered. Usually neutering is included in the purchase price and this helps them track who is entitled to the neutering later when the animal is ready.
