Same here. I think it happens if I don’t save and I minimize too long on IOS or the game crashes. If I save and quit the cat is still there. Hope this helps

All of my parrots have now died due to this glitch as well, I am not going to bother until it is fixed. I also feel like 24 blocks is too much, it makes them really annoying, no matter where I am it is constant. Thanks Ed!

I have this issue only with tamed parrots. I am getting rid of mine until it is fixed. For me it is not just quitting and going back in. If I sit them and travel far away the second I hit the chunks where they were sitting they all fly over to me. I spent a long time making cute cages and getting them in was not easy so this really irritated me.

I also find they make mob noises ALL the time, even when no mobs are near. It's a bit much and I don't travel with a parrot because they do it so much I miss actual danger

This is a known issue and is being tracked on MCPE-18617. I have the same problem and changing worlds does not fix it.
Try keeping something that is not valuable in your 1st hotbar spot. That seems to be what is replaced for me. Also, if you save and quit then close the game sometimes when it reloads the item lost will be back but this does not work 100% of the time

I wanted to update and note that I am seeing this issue happen more often since I last updated to 1.1.5. It is happening every time I feed or breed animals or open the inventory to saddle horses. It seems to be duplicating the animal food and the horse lead and wiping out the item in my 1st hotbar spot. This is usually where my main weapon is.

Sometimes exiting the game right away and going back in will fix it and my weapon is back but for some reason it has only worked when there is a stone sword I don't care about. If it is a valuable item or saddle I have not been able to recover it this way and it is gone forever. For me this bug is having a huge impact on my game. Is there an update on a hotfix or when this will be resolved? Looking back it appears it has been an issue for quite some time and I see several cases resolved but they were never really corrected

I am also having this issue. I have lost weapons I worked hard for and lost my saddle resulting in my fave horse being tied up on the other side of the map because I couldn't ride him home. Every time I untie a lead or add/remove a saddle or feed animals this happens. Has anyone found a work around?
