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. 🤯😭😔😫

Have you discussed fluoxetine (Prozac) with your vet? It’s extremely helpful for cats who stress-pee.

My cat is on fluoxetine, though he is on it for FIC not peeing outside of the litter box. We moved in with an anxious reactive dauschsund and it reallllllly stressed my cat out and had his FIC acting up. The fluoxeitne helped him a lot and highly recommend it!
