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.
What else can I help you with?
How do you tell if a cat has been neutered?
A neutered male cat will have a small incision where the testicles used to be located. In female cats, the incision is typically on the abdomen. Additionally, neutered cats may display behaviors such as reduced aggression, roaming, and marking.

Can a male cat spray after being neutered?
technically they still can. however, after he has been neutered his desire or urge to spray goes way down. Typically neutering will help to stop the spraying. However, a cat that has been neutered before reaching sexual maturity (around six months old), it is very unlikely the cat will ever start spraying.
How can you tell if a male cat is neutered?
A male cat will no longer have testicles. He may still retain the furry pouch (called the scrotum) where the testicles once were, but it will be empty and much reduced in size compared to an intact male cat. Bear in mind if your cat has just been neutered the testicles still may be visible. It takes around 6 weeks for the hormones to calm down, so the testicles will shrink over this period. A male cat has a larger gap between the anus and penis, whereas a female cat's vulva is situated closer to the anus.
What is the difference between a male and female cat?
Male cats are typically larger and heavier than female cats. Male cats also have a more muscular appearance, especially around the face and neck due to the presence of hormones. Additionally, male cats are more likely to display territorial behaviors such as spraying to mark their territory.
