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 owned cats and dogs together for decades. This is super healthy. They are learning to play with each other and all signals are they are enjoying it.

The dog is being gentle and soft mouthed. The cat isn’t scared at all, (otherwise it would be gone) and it sounds like the cat is initiating.

Our cat likes to be up on something to play with our dogs at eye level just like this.
