If a tamed cat sits on a bed (or chest or lit furnace) near the player, it will remain sitting even if pushed off of the bed or if the bed is broken. This is new behavior, and does not work this way in Java.

Repro Steps:

1. Tame one or more cats
2. Place a bed
3. Allow one of the cats to pathfind to, and sit on the bed
4. Either: Push the cat off of the bed OR Break the bed

Expected behavior:

Cat stands and resumes following the player.

Actual behavior:

Cat remains in the sitting posture and no longer follows the player.

This is particularly problematic when attempting to transport cats from one location in a world to another over long distances, as the sitting behavior will happen either just as the player is laying down to sleep or standing up from sleep, and will frequently not be noticeably in the sitting posture when the player breaks the bed to keep moving.

Note: I have not tested this behavior with chests, but expect it to behave the same way. I will run this test later and update the ticket with my results.
