[MC-227678] Inside swamp huts, cat spawn eggs or /summon only produce black cats

The bug

Within the bounds of a swamp hut, only black cats can be spawned with a cat spawn egg in creative mode. Summoning works, but you have to specify the NBT data.

This is very likely done to cause witches' cats in swamp huts to be always black, though this is not always the case due to MC-147659. This restriction, however, this is not necessary.

Expected result

You should be able to summon any cat with a spawn egg or with /summon.

Cats spawned within the bounds of a witch hut are supposed to be black, works as intended.

I thought that that was the case only when the world is generated, not actually using spawn eggs.

Might relate to MC-147659 (the opposite behavior, but only happens upon world generation).

I can confirm that this is an issue.

Is working as intended, since it's a feature and an easter egg. This is similar to spawning swamp villagers in a swamp biome.

Intentional.

Source?

This is the third time someone says it's intentional without providing a source.
I'd like to request mods remove any further "This is intended" comments that provide no source.
