Thanks for the feedback. I called the vet first thing this morning and we are doing our best to obtain a urine sample here at home; if we can't, we'll bring him in to have a sample collected there. The vet tech said that 9 out of 10 times that a cat begins to suddenly pee in places they haven't before is due to a UTI -- that seems high to me but who knows...
The only change at home is some "freshener" we bought at the pet store to sprinkle on/in their cat litter to help control odor (we do clean their litter boxes daily but their boxes are in the basement rec room where the kids often play video games, etc., we thought it would be nice to keep things smelling good 24/7 if we could!). We stopped using the freshening powder several days ago with the notion Levi didn't like it and was letting us know, but he's continued to pee upstairs on the kitty beds anyway. It's possible there's residue of the freshening powder (it's like baking soda to sprinkle in their litter box, but it smells good (at least to people -- probaby not to my cats, though, huh?) left over in their boxes, however, so I could certainly dump everything out and wash up their boxes, starting all over again.
We'll get to the bottom of things! Most important is a happy, healthy cat -- I love my Levi!

Edited to add: I've taken the beds away to wash them and Levi doesn't pee on anything! It seems bed-related, at least to me, but I just don't know for sureI wish I could read their cute little feline minds!
Thanks, everyone.
