Mark my words...

That cat will have it's revenge. To quote Papa John, " There will be a day of reckoning."

Thank you for this. I am in a bad place and this made me smile.

There is one where the cat is trying to pick a fight with another cat and the dog goes and gets him and takes him away from the other cat, rofl.

They are trained to do that so the owner can pimp them out for his/her internet fame. I get so creeped out when people train their animals to mimic human behavior and film it. I’ve seen other videos of the dogs dragging this poor cat around. I just don’t t like phoniness or animals being used as props by fame-hungry humans. It’s transparent, desperate and gross, and people fall for it every time.

I have high prey drive dogs. When people want to get a dog like those I have and ask "how do they do with cats?", I tell them "do not do it. It will not go well."

Then the idiots tell me "it's how you train them", which it is, until the day the cat runs and the dog gets triggered and then it isn't. Then the cat pays dearly and the dog is labeled as "vicious".

Unfair to the cat. Unfair to the dog. People suck.

hurting the cat. I also wouldn’t make all the precious Baby-dog vids. But the dogs look well aken care of, the cat not harmed. Scruff of the neck carry looks bad, but can be harness.

What goes on off camera? Were cats hurt in practice? Were dogs stressed off camera?

That could be and your point well taken. But training started very early, tricks carried out under best conditions by excellent positive rewards trainer, probably starting with object carrying—could be done without animal abuse?

No way if cat being hurt he/she unless anesthesia used would not register that. I get that dogs can be cowed in fear and seek trainer approval. Cats?
