Sibling cats now fighting

On Christmas day our 2 cats had a huge fight. Ended in one peeing in the corner of the living room. I can't tell who is was but our girl cat had it all over her however I'm more inclined to think it was her who peed.

Anyway the whole day was spent with her hissing and spitting at him and puffing herself up. The following day they just spent avoiding each other however they did sleep snuggled up on a chair so I don't think they hate each other and have done each night since which is normal for them.

The problem now is the boy cat is desperate to play and she's having none of it. She rolls in her back and spits at him. I'm giving them both extra attention and playing with them separately but it's so sad to see as apart from the odd spat where boy cat just takes it too far (he's huge and she's tiny) they got on pretty well. She does come up and groom him every so often but everything is on her terms at the moment.

Is there anything I can do or should be doing and they're only 3.5 years so have a long time still to be together and I really don't want to have to deal with all this hissing and spitting. He ended up with a scratched nose too on Christmas Day.

I should add, I have a calming spray I tried to use on them and they were having none of it but will give that ago again.

Buy some felloway friends and plug a couple in around the house. Works a treat in our multi-cat household.

I'll definitely get some of them. I used to have the plugs to add refills to but can't find them
