Why is my male cat constantly in the litter box and straining?

My 9 yr old male cat keeps going to liter box non-stop and he acts like he’s covering it up? What’s wrong with him please. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 20 years and 3 months old | 12 lbs

Hi, he could have some troubles urinating or passing feaces. I would recommend to keep a close eye on him, is he producing urine ? If so, small amounts little and often ? If so he could have cystitis or difficulties passing urine.. and it would be best to have him checked over.
