What makes you think that this is an internal glitch as opposed to a flaw in the world's programming?

If it's common enough, maybe that's a failure of the design of the system.

Occams Razor.

We have mountains of evidence of human brains/memories being inconsistent, fallible, malleable and overall untrustworthy, but very little of the laws of the universe adjusting to teleport cats.

Some people want to beleive in magic, ghosts, mysticism, God etc and that's fine, but to claim that they are reality with no factual backing is backwards.

So you trust our inconsistent, fallible, malleable and overall untrustworthy brains when they deny the mystery of the teleporting cats?
How do you know that the answer isn't simply that cats are very good at covering their tracks? They're already well known for transcending the borders of life and death, what's a little teleporting?

Also, this is all a joke, since a few people seem to be taking me way too seriously.

I think you're missing the point. If you're questioning the foundation of reality itself, there's no way to logic your way out of it, because any argument you make can be flipped around and all blame can be placed on either side.
