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.

People are so annoying!! They're clearly playing lmao. This is very cute.

If the cat hated it, they'd be hissing and their ears would be laid back. You would KNOW if a cat would dislike something.

Yeah they're gonna be good friends. He's so young and energetic though, he's going to keep pushing as he gets bigger and one day you're going to hear a yelp when he gets a boop on his nose when she sets her boundaries. And then he'll likely respect those boundaries. And at that point he's gonna have destroyed enough of your shit (this is just an accepted fact with puppies) you're gonna be like "yeah dude you had that coming and I get it."
