There is… logic in what he says.
 
“Capper, the bipedal anthropomorphic cat, is so far the most controversial character to be revealed. Some find it odd to see a full-blown Funny Animal in the series, as opposed to the usual Civilized Animals we see, complete with accusations of both pandering to the Furry Fandom and trying to ride the coattails of Zootopia. Others find the character to be interesting and unique, plus they point out that anthropomorphic cats have appeared in G1 in the form of the villainess Katrina as well as the IDW comic book. Some even consider it to be rather hypocritical considering nobody batted an eye towards the Diamond Dogs (though that may have been because they were more hunched over and ape-like than upright walking Funny Animals).”
