Just depends on where you take her. Some offices will make you leave the cat over night so the can observe her. Then when you are able to take her home make sure you use paper litter. If you use the dusty kind your cats sutures can be infected. Of course a cat is going to act differently they just got surgery. After a week she should be back to normal. My cat has been perfectly fine and I prefer her spayed she acts so much better.
I don't think spaying a cat is cruel at all. I actually think it is a good idea. There are so many people who have cats roaming outside getting pregnant by anything and everything. I think more cat owners need to do it.

Thank you so much, I live on a island so there is only one place to take her. They hold onto her for most of the day and then she comes home. Thanks for the litter tray part, I will get some.

Spaying is an *extremely* common procedure. You're only doing her (and any unwanted kittens) a big favor in the long run. As was suggested, no one is at their best after surgery. You'll see that she'll be back to her old self in no time at all. Don't worry about it! It really will be okay.
By the way, the general consensus is that spaying is the opposite of cruel.
