If you can't find a cat with the suitable skill for the workshop in the cats list, check if the cat is currently assigned to a Special Activity.
*Special Activities: Fishing Spot, Mine, etc.
Cats working hard in Special Activities are not found in the workshop placement list, so try placing them in workshops after the Special Activity is over.
