The Bug
I went to sleep in-game. My cat came to lay with me. I woke up, and the cat was outside my house.
This only happens randomly. But this is kinda weird.
How to reproduce:
Put your bed in a corner where behind the 2 walls in the corner is just outside.
Set or wait for the time to be nighttime.
Make sure your cat is standing before you get into your bed.
And make sure the door leading to the outside of your house is closed.
Once your cat is standing, hop into your bed
And make sure your cat comes to lay down with you on your bed and puts on its sleeping animation while with you on the bed.
Observed behavior
It sometimes happens that once you wake up, your cat will be outside.
Expected behavior:
Once you wake up, the cat should always wake up right where it sleeps and spawn items right there.

Commenting that every day is not going to do anything...
I am unable to reproduce this issue in 21w19a.

I still experience this on 1.17-Release-Candidate
I'll include the how-to reproduce steps in the description.

I am actually able to reproduce this issue in 1.17 Release Candidate 1. It happens very rarely and is quite rare though.
I've experienced this myself in 1.16.5 modded, if that's anything. Didn't figure out how to reliably reproduce it though, it appeared to happen randomly.

I was able to reproduce in 1.17. Indeed, seems to happen randomly, I needed like 15 tries, some in different ways, before it happened. Last 3 tests I did, as far as I can tell, without moving, simply checked the cat (not sitting), skipping to next night and back to sleep, and on the 3rd (last) one it was outside.
I can confirm that this is still an issue in 1.17.1. As stated above already, there doesn't seem to be a reliable method of reproducing this as it appears to occur randomly. It took me around twenty attempts or so to experience this problem.

Every once in a while when you and your cat wake up, it just spawns a distance away from the bed. Might cause it to be outside of the room if it was in one. Cat gift items are spawned where the cat spawns upon waking up, so will be left there as it walks back to you.

Can confirm for 21w37a :/

Can anyone else confirm?

I am no longer having issues with this as of 1.20.3 RC 1. It seems to have been fixed. Though I don't see it listed.
Can confirm in 1.21. This does not appear to happen if the gamerule doDaylightCycle
is false because then the cat doesn't bring any gifts. Therefore I assume this is related to the gift bringing mechanic somehow and may be intentional? Either way it's a bit weird, since in my case (this happens constantly in my survival world) the cat likes to teleport downwards.
Here's a screenshot of my testing setup (1.21 Creative) - it sometimes appears on the other side, sometimes below, and sometimes right at the bed:
