SUMMARY
Occasionally, the Summoner's Familiar can appear in a different place on the map than its 3D character model, and all skills associated with it will not work correctly.

WHEN
This bug has been present since the Warlock update.

WHERE
This bug can occur in most dungeons and areas -- in this patch, I've had it occur in Sogun's Lament: Interior and in Ancient Lunar Meadow, but it has also happened in Mushin's Tower, Highland Exile, and Bloodshade Harbor: Command Center.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
It doesn't seem like there is anything specific that can trigger it, but the bug was reproduced by staff in the previous patch -- it just wasn't fixed. It might seem like skills are possible, but they never actually land, so CCing, grabbing, etc using the Familiar is impossible. If you can get close enough to where the Familiar is shown on the map (rather than where its character model is shown), then it can be Beckoned to fix the issue, but this isn't always possible, so it can be debilitating to the class. I've attached a screenshot of the bug occurring. Note that the location of the Familiar on the map is different than where its character model shows.

This happens to me all the time, especially in mushin's tower.
The issue is the cat only checks distance to player on the X and Z Axis, not vertically on the Y Axis. So if the cat gets stuck on floor 4, you can go all the way up to floor 5 (for example) without the cat, and you won't realize until you try and knockdown, but you can't.
If there is not a way to add a check for vertical distance, the out of combat horizontal distance needs to be smaller.

interesting! and yeah, that roughly checks out for me. it mostly happens in locations where i can climb up or jump down, except for ancient lunar meadows (which is a new issue as of this patch).

They fixed position displayed by game. Cat still gets stuck a lot.

cat still gets stuck, but it seems like the distance between the summoner and the cat before the cat teleports has been decreased, so that's a good thing 👍
My cat teleports back to my side much more often, having much less problems with it
