Since they must be separated to prevent any unwanted letters, you're just going to have to keep them in separate rooms with separate litter boxes, food bowls, toys etc. if they seem stressed out you can try a Feliway diffuser which may help to calm them as well as give them each plenty of love and playtime. Definitely trying to burn off their energy will help to decrease stress. Hope this helps.
