Won't Stop Fighting

Moe & Rudy, brothers 2 1/2 yrs old, fixed and indoor guys

they were shaved 2 months ago, for 2 - 3 weeks after they were at each
others throat, hissing, arched backs, nails out, ears straight
back..only thing that could separte them was a super soaker...had to
keep in seperate rooms..seperate everything

And now...can be in the same room, tolerate each other at times even
stand next to each other...they no longer groom each other or sleep
together

they race around the apartment at top speed chasing each other...they
have knocked things down, broken a lamp

taking turns climbing on the other and biting the next of the bottom
cat..that's for dominance right?

they have plenty of toys and rotate them, play with every day, they
have climbing toys...one very tall and the other a cube like
thing...they get a lot of affection & love

I'm in an upstairs apart and have very nice elderly lady
downstairs..not to be morbid but if something happened and somebody
else moved in downstairs all it would take is one complaint & I'd have
to get rid of my guys or face eviction...it's in the lease

I don't know what to do with them

I'm at my wits end...can't afford to replace the stuff they break

I've never had any luck with feliway...didn't work on Sam cat (my 15
yr old female who yowled all night, she died 4 yrs ago)

and I tried feliway on Moe & Rudy whem they first got here at 8 months
old, they grew up in the SPCA...didn't how to behave in home

also there are doing things they were trained not to do & did when we
1st got them like; getting in trash (it has a lid on it they knock it
over) getting on the stove & kitchen counters, climbing in the
dishwasher, knocking over the recycle stuff

they have seen a lot of change & I know cats don't like that but there
was no choice in the matter first was the death of my husband..Moe was
closer to Rick and Rudy to me....right after his death & I sobbed so
hard couldn't talk all I had to do was do a c'mere sign w/my hands or
if they wern't in the room they'd come running when they heard me sob

my daughter & 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter temp moved in (was supposed
to be month it was 5 months) Moe loved my granddaughter Rudy hated her
since the two are almost identical she couldn't tell them apart

they've moved out for me it was good thing..like I said many changes
in the people here..I've been the one constant person, they like my
other daughter and my mom...

sorry so long...chronic insomnia here and they wake me every night
they aren't allowed to sleep with me, never have

any suggestions??
