I would get a urinalysis on both of them and make sure they don't have urinary issues or other issues that are causing this problem. If you rule out medical then we can talk about adding feliaway, making sure they have a place to look outside, climb up, hide in and are getting enough attention. I would also make sure you have 3 litter boxes. I would try different litters also. I would just rule out medical before saying it is a behavioral problem.
