After Comet got neutered, he suddenly stopped using his litter box, Now, he's using my bed. How do I retrain him to go back to the litter box?

Also, I know he caught a cold, and this could be playing a role in his recent "accidents." Do I deal with the accidents until he's back to normal or start now?

Laura,

Usually when a cat stops using the litter box it is because the cat has some medical issue (in your case possibly pain) or it is territorial.

Given your boy just got neutered I am wondering if it is pain driven. I would highly suggest contacting your vet as soon as possible  and letting your vet know that he is not using his litter box and I would really suggest getting him get checked out. It will be best for him and you. 

Let us know how things go. If it isn't medical we can help with that as well.
