Alright, where will I begin. Yesterday night, 1-18-2018, I noticed my cat, he is male, went to the litter box multiple times within thirty minutes. I was not home all day so I did not know if he had been doing this throughout the day. Today, 1-19-2018. I scheduled a vet office because again he had did this morning.
I brought him in. They said it sounds like Cystitis. He gave me some stuff to acidify his urine. Some pain meds and gave him a shot in his back.
He was only eating dry food, up until today. I gave him some wet food, with extra water and his urine acidify gel.
He is 4 years old and neutered. Today 1-19-2018, after the shot from the vet, he went to pee and did his normal pee and has not been back multiple times since then, no frequent visits like this morning and last night. Since its Friday and the vet isn't open til Monday, he said I have to bring in a urine sample and gave me a bottle to catch some pee in.
I'm doing so. But I'll wait til very late Sunday because I know pee gets old. I read online u can refrigerate for up to 24hours.
He does not strain to pee, nor does he cry to pee. Nor does he pee outside of the litter tray. I told the vet all this. Its just when he has to go, he keeps going back. Like 5-7 times before his bladder is empty. Pee comes out, then he keeps going back and then spurts was coming back. When he is empty he goes back to playing.
He eats normal and drinks. Also went poopi!
Again, I noticed this yesterday. I also was given 8 days of pain meds and he takes the urine acidify for 3 weeks.
Does anyone have any advice?
(Has not done urine analysis yet. Have to bring in sample Monday, or if I cannot collect by Monday I have to bring him in, in the am so they can do it.)

Great to read that Thor is doing well! You have taken back for him these precious days that would have been stolen away, but for your devoted care including obtaining good veterinary care 
I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE socializing with cat parents and cat guardians! Now I am tempted to "catch cat pee" just to have the skill mastered, should I ever need it. In what other forum would I dare to confess that!
I am still going to keep him on an all soft food diet and add extra water. He pees a bit more. About 4 times. He likes Fancy Feast a lot, tho I have to admit, he hates his teefyteets getting brushed. And I heard soft foods kill teefyteets faster than crunchy.
