This is with experiments turned on for bundles and 1.21 features (but not villager rebalancing).
I'm in seed 5349, and the place where the cats get stuck is -199 / 71 / -336. {edited to add minus sign} I had three following me, and all of them got stuck here. I did not walk here, so they went here by themselves.
I couldn't even nudge them around the corner, whether sitting or not. They would move around the corner, but as soon as I released them from sitting, they walked back to this spot and stayed there. I finally had to take three leads and pull them over, and drag them to my home base.
This could be hard to reproduce unless all cats get stuck in this particular location. But maybe others have seen a recent "cat stuck" phenomenon.
Note that teleportation wouldn't work, either, even over all-dry ground.

I've tried to reproduce the issue based off of the description, and the world seed/coordinates you've added seems to be an ordinary hill. As stated in the previous comment, adding more information or reliable steps to reproduce this issue would be very helpful, as currently I cannot.

I messed up the coordinates. It's Z coordinate -336 (minus 336), not 336. Sorry about that. (The spot is right next to a house.)
Also, I am unable to reproduce at this time, because there are no cats in the village. I'll keep coming back and see if I can catch a cat here and try to get him to follow me around that corner. But it could take a while.
OK, I couldn't find a cat again in that village, but I found one in another. Two, actually. They followed me all the way home without incident, and even teleported a couple of times (over short distances).
So I parked one, and then tried to teleport to the (corrected) coordinates I mentioned above, and the cat did not teleport to me. I teleported back home, and there it was, right where I left it wandering.
So it might be a "no-teleport zone" in the general vicinity of those coordinates (-199/71/-336).
Are you able to provide a video of that behavior occuring? It would help a lot towards understand what's really going on.
If this is still a problem in 23w51b, please create a new issue with clear reproduction steps that will always reproduce the reported behavior when you follow them yourself.
Please also attach a video then. If a video is requested, you have to provide a video.
I have no idea what 23w51b is. As I stated, I'm running vanilla 1.20.4 Java, with 2 of the 3 experiments turned on (minus rebalance).
And as I also stated, I have no idea how to make a video.
Have someone (official) get a cat in that village, move near those coordinates, and then try to head west. The cat won't follow. It will stop at the (corrected) coordinates I stated.
Alternately, try teleporting to those coordinates with a cat that's not sitting from some other location (I came from the west). The cat won't teleport in, even though there are no obstacles or water between.
Ok, to clear up some of the confusions:
1) 23w51b is the latest development version of Minecraft for the next minor update (1.20.5).
2) You can find the world folder within your /.minecraft/saves directory and send the entire folder (preferably as a .zip file) of the world the bug has occured in.
3) There's a lot of ways to capture a video of this bug. Google can be your help if you need a program (usually sth like "Screen Capture" should be pre-installed though).
Please provide a video &/or screenshots of this occuring. Additionally, attaching the world file used to observe this issue would be helpful too.
