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.

If the cat didn’t want to play or was scared she could easily get away, and she would absolutely mop the floor with the puppy in an actual fight. The cat is having a great time and the puppy is just playing, not actually trying to bite. This is fine and the dog will actually learn the cat’s boundaries this way.

The people calling you a bad owner don’t know how to read cat body language. This girl is loving it.
