I left my cat with my parents for a week while I went to another city for a training class.. While I was gone, they didn't do anything to maintain her training. She's fairly small still and beserk on energy. She is 100% Bengal, so strange behavior is normal, but this one is really bad. She has now developed this habbit of jumping up on counters when nobody is looking. Apparently my mom was making dinner today and left the stove unnatended. The cat jumped on the counter and stole a piece of ham off the frying pan, then climbed up the living room curtains with it and ate it at the top... She could have hurt herself, plus, she absolutely cannot be steeling food like that. How do I curb it when it seems that the greatest reward is available to her with a bad behavior? I can't possibly reward her enough to stay on the ground or punnish her enough to make the food stealing not worth it.. Ideas?

A.
