What is the range of which a cat scares a creeper? And does it scare them in a square area or a rectangular area?

I had an odd thing happen tonight. I was collecting experience at my mob farm in order to combine a regular bow with my enchanted bow to repair it.

I put the enchanted bow (half durability left) in the first anvil slot and a regular new bow in the second slot. It cost 5 experience levels to combine them. When I left clicked the resulting combined bow, the anvil construction screen disappeared, the bow dropped off my mouse cursor and dropped to the floor, and the entire anvil disappeared!?

I've combined tons of enchanted items before without problems. Can anyone think of something I may have done wrong? I don't want to start loosing 31 iron (anvil construction cost) every time I lose an anvil.
