Didn't see this bug anywhere else so I figured I'd post it.
What I expected to happen was...:
Tamed cat should bring morning gift to bed.
What actually happened was...:
Cat teleports a few blocks below bed in the morning but does not realize, so the cat attempts to pathfind to the bed's coordinates. Cat pathfinds to correct X,Z coordinates but incorrect Y coordinate (due to it teleporting below the bed). As a result, the pathfinding is constantly trying to get to the bed but since it never touches the bed it will continue to return to those incorrect coordinates until the bed is touched. Nothing will break the cat's fixation with the incorrect coordinates. Cat will not follow you and will constantly gravitate towards the coordinates unless it is sitting, however standing it up again will only result in it going towards the incorrect bed coordinates. If the block located at the incorrect coordinates is missing or obstructed the cat will pathfind to the nearest block to those coordinates. The only way to fix it is to sit the cat down and push it all the way back to the bed.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sleep with cat standing up.
2. Cat may teleport a few blocks below the bed in the morning with morning gift.
3. Cat now sees those coordinates as the bed coordinates and will try to return to the bed with the morning gift. Cat will persist until the bed is touched.

Confirmed still a problem in 1.21.4. Bed on second floor of house, cat teleported underneath to the first floor to bring morning gift and then gets stuck pathfinding to the x,z coordinates of the bed but on the incorrect floor. Only way to stop this behaviour is to get the cat to sit and push it up the stairs to the bed, otherwise it will constantly pathfind to those coords and not teleport.
Thank you for your report!

Apologies for accidentally reopening this ticket. I was opening a new ticket and accidentally uploaded media to this one instead.
No worries. In fact, it's probably better that you reopened it, since it was left to rot as Awaiting Response, which is supposed to be a temporary state. It is now correctly filed away as a duplicate of a triaged bug, which could serve as useful information for the developers, since they sometimes check duplicates for extra information.
Please check if that's still an issue in the latest 1.16 development snapshot. Currently that is 20w06a.
