What does your mom think of their behavior?
They are fixed and it's one male and female; they are sister and brother. They have settled down a little, but they love to play. I try to remember to play with them so that a) they are not bugging me for attention when I'm busy and b) I can wear them out a bit (laser pointer light chase).

This does not mean you have to punish the cat. That will only teach him to mistrust you because you bring "punishment" with you.
They get squirted with a spray bottle when they jump up on the counters. Sometimes you can say "get down" and they'll listen. Other times they ignore you.
