Cats pretty much domesticated themselves for the mutual benefit of both species.
There are "captive" pets living in cages or other enclosures that might be a bit more dicey, but cats and dogs are probably a pretty poor example to get upset about.

another point is also their environmental footprint (20% of meat and fish production, many services and indirect pollution, impact on birds, lezards, etc..)
(I'm being pedantic but that'd suit my narrative, I'm mostly vegan and I'm easily annoyed by people with pets)
