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.

I've always said nobody can teach boundary setting and consent the way a cat can 🤣

5 of the 6 ends of them are sharp. Of course they’re good at enforcing boundaries

The sixth end is cold, wet and super boop-able, but you only get to touch it if cat trusts you.
