I recommend to have Jak examined by the veterinarian today. When cats suddenly start to urinate outside the box, it can indicate a medical conditions such as a urinary tract infection or kidney disease (other causes are possible). Since Jak can't talk and tell you why this is happening, it's best to have him examined. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
