Cat started peeing on carpet

Out of my four cats, I suspect the culprit? Three years ago, One of them came home 4am with face damaged. Eye hanging out, teeth knocked out, broken jaw. Rushed to emergency out-of-hours vet. Suspected car accident? Kept in for two days then released to my own vet. Was told could also have possible brain damage, but no signs at present?
Since then, he has not been very active. Sometimes just sitting by the kitchen door to garden looking through the catflap. Thinking he wants to go outside, opened door only for him to run inside.
Anyway, on Monday morning found a small poo and skid marks on the dining room table. Have a plastic cover, so easy to clean. Then Tuesday morning and yesterday morning a puddle by the kitchen door and wet doormat. Couldn't have come from anywhere in the kitchen. No water that area, and away from sink. So last night put some kitchen roll paper where the puddles found. This morning soaked through! He is the only cat that sits and stares through the catflap. Although not all the time.
My query is, why all of a sudden started doing this? And the poo on the table? In the past always used the litter tray if didn't want to go outside. He has been acting differently last few months. Sometimes looks at me without recognising me. Fussy with food. Will eat his favorite biscuits sometimes, or ignores them? Got me wondering if perhaps there was some brain damage, and now starting to appear? Esimated age is seven years? Came to me as a stray when I got a six month old cat.
So all I can do for now is monitor him. Not due for annual health check till October.
