Glad tothear that the surgery went well and he is on the road to recovery.
He should be fine while you are gone. Link settled into his crate rest fairly well once he realized he really wasn't getting out. Plus he will probably be drugged so he will be sleepy anyways. I cleaned the crate on a daily basis and put Link I'm his carrier while I cleaned. Link would often not want to go back in the crate so I'd carry him around the house with me until he meowed to go back. Your cat may be different. I found it helped to spend time sitting next to the crate just to keep him company while I read or watched videos on my phone.
