I would be worried he has a fever. This is not normal after surgery and makes me concerned about an infection. I would recommend to take Felix to an emergency clinic tonight if possible. If you can't get to one tonight, go to the vet first thing in the morning. Try to get him to drink water, offer him food you think he will eat. Make sure he stays warm. If the doctor is worried about infection, Felix will need antibiotics and fluids. I hope he's ok!
