    Cats can be very empathetic.  They can be sensitive to changes in the household, when people are stressed, or there is a change in housemates.  Furthermore if you cat has a urinary tract infection the smell and contents of the urine may have changed.  This may change the overall scent of your cat.  The other cat may be picking up on the change in behavior or change in scent and reacting to new or "different" by hissing.  This should resolve when the urinary tract infection is clear.  If it does not and the hissing continues examine the environment for other changes or things that may be stressing your cats.

      Haha...no...your question is humorous, was it intended to be humorous? If it wasn't then i apologize..anyways, a cat wouldn't hiss at another if the other sick. It would only hiss if it senses that the other poses a threat or danger.
