Affectionate Wawa

Am I imagining things or has Wawa grown more affectionate since he got neutered? He likes to sleep near my feet when I am working at my desk. When I move from room to room, he will move with me, napping and waiting while I am busy at the other side of the door. He whines when I spend too much time watching the tv/computer screen. I don't know what he wants because he will sit there looking at me pathetically with his perpetually wrinkled forehead. Perhaps he's asking for his cushion and toys in the washing machine.
