Question: When did the peeing problem start?
Following is a mixed bag of suggestions and thoughts.
Call the Humane Society and talk to them. They are reacting to the child, I am sure. Maybe they or a friend could foster them for a while.
Nancy Efrusy is a pet psychic that has done wonders for people here. She is in the USA, and very reasonable. [email protected]
At the very point where the cats need extra love and reassurance, they are behaving in a way that doesn't get them that.
Feliway is a relaxant for cats; it's expensive though a little lasts a long time.
Again - I think they have to have their own safe child-proof place. Basement?
Making them outdoor cats could result in an expensive vet visit -they are 10, and not accustomed to the outdoors. All you need is for one or both of them to be hit by a car or hurt by an animal, and to survive...and the vet costs associated with surgery or euthanasia.
DON'T allow the youngster to interact with them at all. Question - how do you keep them apart when he is not supervised? If that works, do it constantly.The boy is only permitted to interact with the cats when supervised. He is a bit rough with them and parents stop him right away.
Otherwise - rehome them as a pair. Safest and best for them...especially if vet checkups are going to be a problem for a while.
