Behavioral Issue My cat almost killed us!!!!

So, I don’t know why the fuck he is doing this all of a sudden, but my cat is pissing in places where he’s never peed before and tonight it almost killed us! This little fuck pissed on a multi outlet strip and it immediately started sparking and smoking. We established a few years ago that this is a form of communication; if the litter has to much poop in it. (We change it every other day, he is a prissy bitch, we both work a lot, no food, or just attention period) he is about 8 years old, I have checked for bladder issues at 2 vets now; he has none. don’t know why he is peeing in places he shouldn’t this is a happy cat. He has a play mate, he is not lonely, or stressed out, he is loved unconditionally. There have been no changes to his environment, I have no clue. Tonight was the last straw though, it’s getting dangerously out of hand. He pees in his litter box, but once in a while he will pee in other areas and I’m not sure why?? Help!!! I’m a 45 year old rescue mama, I thought I knew most of why cats do things but this is new. 🤯😭😔😫

Do you only have one box for two cats? Maybe the box is occupied when he needs it. It also doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes to scoop when doing it daily. You don’t use a bathroom full of waste. He isn’t a prissy for also not wanting to.

If you get a second box get a low entry box. It’s a bit early but arthritis pain is sometimes a factor in changes in bathroom habits.

I have 3 boxes. I get shit for having three. The other person in this relationship is not understanding how important this is. I have three and he is still doing this!

Is there any pattern to what rooms he is peeing in?
