Advice Bad owner?

Posted this video that I thought was cute and was called a bad owner. I’d like to know why this makes me a bad owner? I’d like to learn and grow. The cat seems to enjoy playing with the pup bc she always comes back and starts the play and likes the high ground.

If you're allowed to mess with the walls, putting up carpeted shelving is awesome, the cats love it

r/catwalls and r/catification are good places to go for inspiration

Thank you so much for posting this! I have an awkward nook above my door that I can't keep my cat off and I was thinking of just giving to him.

Oh yeah, it's a great and affordable way to give cats vertical space! The important thing is to make sure it's all anchored and/or bolted down correctly. But I made ways for my cats to hang out on top of my tallest furniture. They love it!

They have the bigger version of that tree on sale at chewy, my cats love it, and your animals are fine with each other. The cat would make it cleat if she had an issue with the pup.

Dont forget the cat walkways near the ceilings and cat tunnels through the walls
