I would recommend waiting until your female cat has had the kittens before really changing anything. IT is possible she is protective and unfriendly to the other cat due to being pregnant. You can get feliway a cat pheromone to help decrease stress in the house. Also, you can try to increase litter boxes and areas of elevation to help calm the two cats. I hope that helps
