Wow TIL they clip the ear of cats to easily tell which ones have been spayed or neutered.

Only if they are part of a Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program for ferals. If you just take your pet in for the procedure they don't do that. They might give them a small tattoo on their belly if it's a girl, so if they are lost track of and have new humans they are sure no one will open them up to try and do it again.
