I gelded one of my cats, and the dwarf who gelded him keeps throwing cancellation announcements saying he can't access the cat. He appears to be stuck in the doorway while the cat is a few tiles away, on one of the farmer's workshop tiles.

I thought maybe this was a problem with pastures, so I un-pastured all my cats but he's still trying to handle the cat. It might also have to do with how I organized this workshop area - can "close-quarters" workshops cause this problem? I've been playing this fort for 5 (in-game) years and gelded most of my cats and it's never happened before, but it might have to do with the route this particular dwarf took.

Thank you for your time.

edit: I checked the combat logs for unrelated reasons and it appears the cat and the gelder got into a brief fight?

All it says is:
The stray cat attacks the gelder but He jumps away!
The gelder stands up.

Pretty strange. Sounds like when my cat swats at my ankles when she's hungry... only I'm not trying to chop her balls off and I'm not currently stuck in a doorway.

Yeah, inexperienced gelders can get attacked by animals they're trying to geld.

Could it be that your cat escaped onto farmer's workshop's inaccessible tile? If that's the case, deconstructing the workshop and rebuilding might help.

(Though I usually don't deconstruct a shelf because cat climbed on top of it.)
