0011173: Dwarf repeats cancelling "Handle Animal" job at extreme rate while standing still.
A dwarf can constantly keep cancelling a "handle tame animal" so fast, that it repeats the message up to 100 times within a few seconds, all the while, the dwarf just stands in one spot and does nothing - even to the point of getting drowsy, thirsty and hungry.

The cat that the dwarf was "cancelling" may not have existed or have just been in a normal area. As I checked that all the cats were in standard, reachable areas.
Unknown.

Making the "cancel-frozen" dwarf join a military, then removing him can *sometimes* fix the issue.

The kitten is stuck in the impassable tile of the farmer's workshop due north of the stuck dwarf (0005709). Removing that workshop allows the animal handling job to complete.
