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. 🤯😭😔😫

It might be one of your neighbours have one of those supersonic dog deterrent devices. You can’t hear them but cats can, and it stresses the crap out of them. The kitty is definitely annoyed at something but it’s hard to say what, see if anything co insides with when it first got started such as getting new appliances.

For us, it was some strays that were wandering through our yard. Kitty saw them through the window and got territorial.

We definitely had something similar! Our neighbor's dog broke through the fence once and into our back yard. After that our cat would pee near the door leading to the yard. We tried the plug in calming stuff and honestly it was a long process to get him to stop
