I was interested in your problem with your cats. Ours APPPEARS to be solved. We separated them for 5 nights and also took the top off a covered litterbox. The urinating outside the litter box happened the first night they were separated but we took the cover off that litterbox and it has not happened again. The hissing and growling got gradually less as the days went by and last night we put them together again. They have both always been shut in the laundry room at night (since they were kittens) so that I don't fall over them if I get up at night. I have severe arthritis and osteporosis and can't afford to fall. They have always accepted this since they knew nothing else. We put the hissing cat (the larger) in the downstairs bathroom for those 5 nights. In the morning he needed lots of attention and insisted on being on my lap for a long time. She was also lonely since we could hear her crying for us when she heard us up in the morning. Yesterday they were back to normal - no hissing - playing together - eating together- watching the birds out the window together and only one hiss. With a day like that, we decided it was time to put them together again. No problems of any kind. We will now leave the cover off the litter box, continue to put them together at night and hope for the best! I think that more than 24 hours is necessary to resolve this problem. At least, that's my experience. Good luck!
