Default spending a lot of time in the litter box

Sounds like a urinary tract infection. He must see the vet ASAP. (he may be
blocked and unable to urinate. This could result in death).

One of my indoors only, 6 yr old neutered males has taken to spending
a lot of time in the litter box.

He seems to go about twice an hour, and spends up to 15 minutes at a
time in there.

Seems to be healthy and playful otherwise; belly is not tender or
distended.

I'll try for a vet visit tomorrow, but wondered if anyone has any
ideas?

Is he peeing at all? Or is it that he's constipated?

If he isn't peeing at all, despite spending so much time in there, take him
to the vet today instead of tomorrow. A male cat can become blocked
(urethra) & it's literally a life & death situation, which needs attention
*quickly*.
