Because Miffy is a very beautiful cat with special attributes (such as her good looks and cleverness), she receives and demands many privileges in the family, including sleeping in bed and on the furniture. 

The family dog, on the other hand, is not so small and cuddly, and does not get to sleep on the bed or enjoy the same privileges, which makes her very jealous. 

The lesson to be learned in Miffy, The Crooked-Eyed Cat is that everyone is different and we all have a different lot in life. It is futile to envy someone else. It is much more sensible to be happy with who you are.
