Why Is My Cat Obsessed With His Litter Box?

My usually chill tabby just went through a minor surgery to clear a urinary blockage (don’t recommend, 0/10 experience for both of us). The first couple nights post-op, he was glued to my side—bed, floor, wherever I was. Now, suddenly, he’s basically moved into his litter box. Like, he’s not even using it, just… napping there. I’m keeping it spotless, but it’s weirdly heartbreaking to see him curled up in the one place I’d least want to hang out. Is this just his way of finding comfort in a familiar-smelling spot while he heals, or should I be worried? Anyone else’s cat do this after surgery? I want to respect his need for space, but I also don’t want to miss any red flags. Cat parents, how did you handle this? #CatCare #PetRecovery #CatBehavior #Pets
