He is probably still suffering from an infection/inflammation and he probably received muscle relaxant medications which causes loss of control on the bladder. once the medication course is over and he is healed it will stop, but until then it's actually a good thing that he is peeing everywhere, it means he is not blocked anymore.

As it is a male cat, there is a high chance that he is already partially blocked, and it is an emergency situation potentially. in most cases with cats, these urinary symptoms are not an infection but an inflammation of the bladder, which is treated slightly differently. at this point i wouldn't take the chance, i would advise taking him back to the vet right away.

This is still normal, it can remain this way until the condition is fully resolved and he will retain normal function of the bladder once he recovers. urinary blockage is usually caused by a bladder inflammation, most often due to stress, the stress factor needs to be removed and you need to continue the medical treatment as well as prescription urinary diet for a month.

These signs are compatible with UTI (urinary tract inflammation/infection) so if they persist or no urine is passed at all, another check up is needed as urinary blockage/obstruction could be always a risk.
