Lorraine, this is a new one on me! Perhaps it is the heat and humidity of the season. How old is Sammy? From the picture of him, he appears to be fairly young.

Hi Wayne! Sammy Just turned 1 on July 4th!
It is very strange! He doesn't sleep in the litter box all the time, but he does it often enough! And always lays down to eat! He'll stand to drink from his water bowl, but his food bowl, he'll just lie their like the laziest kitty you have ever seen!
Sammy has always been a rather "sanitary" kitty, he is the one who leaves little tiny sand piles around the litter box, because if the litter gets outside the box,he will "sweep" the litter into little piles with his paw! He wants to keep it neat!
Even when he wrestles with his baby brother, Sammy will take breaks, and clean and groom Romeo while they wrestle!
Little does Sammy know, that he is turning into a stinky kitty by napping in his litterbox!
I keep the temp, fairly cool, because it is very hot here right now.
