My cats keep "suffocating in a wall". I am on a flat, open and fenced island, with trees and pumpkin vines etc. so, not much to suffocate them. Is there a way to keep them from dying?

Yeah, we need more details. Where were the cats located, were they sitting or roaming around? Also screenshots please.
Sorry to make you wait, the four corners of my island and some cat pics too (they've been set to sit around)

Hey there (again)!
Based on your screenshots, this isn't a bug. I have a few theories for what this could be, but the first two that came to mind were the pumpkins and melons. When pumpkins and melons grow, cats take damage and sometimes cannot escape the melon in time (especially if seated). Another way where the cats can suffocate in walls is if they are standing in a sapling when it grows. I saw a sapling in one of your photos, so this might've been an issue. When the sapling becomes replaced with a full block of wood, just like melons, the cats sometimes can't escape in time. I've attached a few screenshots including the death messages of when I tried it out.
But no, I am pretty sure this isn't a bug.

Confirmed in 1.20.1, I've had two cats die in my pumpkin farm. In case it matters, the farm is set up in a grid pattern, like:
OXOX
XOXO
OXOX
As described in MC-159043 it'd be nice if either the pumpkin won't grow in a block currently occupied by a mob, or if the pet makes an effort to move out of the way, or if the pet gets moved to the top of the pumpkin that just grew (if possible).
In the meantime, I guess I need to tell my pets to stay before going to harvest pumpkins 😞
Hey there!
Based on what you've described, it's hard to tell what you really mean. If possible, please attach a few screenshots or a video so other bug testers and I can take a closer look at this. Based on what you have now, I can't understand what may exist on the island besides the few things you've listed, so a screenshot would be really helpful.
