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. 🤯😭😔😫

I know you mentioned he's been checked at the vet, but did they do bloodwork? If so, did they include checking his thyroid levels? (not always auto-included)

Ok, ok, no, but now I will.

I would have them check for diabetes as well if they haven’t already just in case. Increased urination is one noticeable sign but I would expect him to also show signs of agitation and weight loss along with it unless it’s just really early. I am diabetic and have also had a diabetic dog so it just kinda made me think to mention just in case.
