Typically a cat with a UTI will pee frequently in small amounts, may stop using the litter box and pee in the house, and may drink an excessive amount of water. The only way to know for sure if Ashton has a UTI is to take him into the vet for a physical exam, blood tests, and a urinalysis. This is confirm the presence of a UTI, and the vet can prescribe antibiotics to treat it. If you think Ashton has a UTI, I would take him into the vet first thing in the morning.
