My Tamed Animals are stuck sitting down

I loaded my 22w12a world, Then I wanted my cats & wolf to follow me to where I wanted them to go, but they were stuck sitting. I had this issue before but I couldn't get a chance to report it simply because I was so fed up with this. I killed my wolf. That's why I'm reporting this now. In one of the labels, I chose "tamed-cat" because there wasn't a sitting version of it in the selection.

What I expected to happen was...:
They would stand up and follow me where I want them to go.

What actually happened was...:
The pets were sitting and wouldn't stand up.

Steps to Reproduce:

1a. Open an existing world that was last played in 22w12a or earlier

1b. If you have pets, make sure they are sitting down, then save & quit the game.

1c. Load 22w13a and Open that world you last played, make sure to create a backup.

2. Right-click on the pets that are sitting down.

3. Observe.
