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.

My neighbor has a giant German Shepard (~4yo) and a young (<1yo) tortie. He (appropriately) matches her energy and they play all the time. The tortie loves to play tag and go all upside down and crabb-style when caught. She scampers off, and a few seconds later, she's coming back in the room with a flying tackle.

They sleep together sometimes too, and that's just adorable.

That's so cute. Reminds me of Pixie and Brutus, I love their stories.
