Begging the question

When the evidence to support a person’s argument is the argument itself, just restated or said differently. Usually when the person making the claim can’t think of any reasons to support their own claim.
Person 1: Dogs are better than cats because they just are.
Person 2: What do you mean they “just are”? What is your proof?
Person 1: They’re just better ok, now will you shut up?
Person 2: Not until you stop begging the question!
Person 2 (in their mind): God this fucking guy
