Bingo, you did teach them to not do stuff that can get them hurt. That is the whole point. Of course you don't leave the kitchen unattended but you don't rely on just that.

    The point was they're allowed on the counters most of the time.

    Ok, I interpreted "well behaved" as they don't jump on the kitchen counters. In that case I guess we agree that we disagree. My own two cats know the counters are off limits and don't feel the need to jump on them. I still keep the kitchen door closed when I am not home or sleeping, but there is always the chance I might forget, which is exactly why training is important.
