He might still be in pain and you should take him to the vet asap. If he’s actually better, then he probably needs to be retrained to use the litter box. He has associated the pain of the urinary tract infection with the litter box.
Monitor him so if you see he starts scratching through your clothes or your bed sheets (like he would do with the litter) it means he’s going probably going to pee. Clap your hands or something to make him stop. Then take him to the litter box. If he’s good and uses it, give him a treat. Just be patient. And don’t get angry at him, it’s not his fault. Remember also to keep the litter box clean
My kitty also got an UTI and was peeing on my bed. Now she’s doing just fine

It is letting you know that something isn’t right.If the med. doesn’t help him or her within a couple days, get it back to the vet. It can kill a cat.

Either he is still experiencing pain or these places still smell like urine. Get an enzymatic cleaner to clean the places where he goes so that it doesn’t still smell like an appropriate place to pee. Also call your vet tomorrow, phone calls are free and it wont hurt anything, ask if this behavior should still be continuing. It is possible that he needs a different dosage or medicine. Remember not all antibiotics fight all infections. Of course, do not stop giving any medicine without your vet’s knowledge as it can prolong or inhibit the healing or create antibiotic resistant bacteria. It could also be that you haven’t given the medication enough time to work. You didn’t say how long ago he was put on it.

He is letting you know something isn’t right. He was litter trained before, and now he is trying to let you know he is still sick. Can you lock him in a room so he does not soil everything you own? Also talk to the vet. Maybe he needs a change in the meds, depending on how long he has been on them.
