you mean...if you have butter on top, and then push the toast off the table, it lands with the butter side down?

the answer: physics -- because the toast can only do either 1/2 or 1.5 rotations before it makes it to the ground...

The same reason that if if you drop something off your bed it has a tendency to bounce into a position under your bed. The reason? God likes to laugh at us.

Butter > Not butter.

Therefore

Notbutter
Butter.

Butter is heavy, so it will land on the bottom...

So, if cats land of their feet, and butter lands butter side down.... a cat with buttered toast strapped to its back will.....

Problem: toast falls on buttered side
Solution: butter no sides, or butter both. Unless toast can fall on both sides at once XD

On it's feet. The cat is heavier than the toast.

That Murphy guy is a freakin' genius. And an optimist.

Simple answer: The cat will rotate itself to point its feet toward the ground. As a result, the toast's resistance to being butter-side-up will cause a 180-degree rotation. This again causes the cat to flip itself over. Dropped a short distance, the results are unpredictable. However, if done from a high enough point, the toast will land butter-side down. As they fall the toast-rotation vs cat-rotation will create an ever-accellerating spin, sort of like a pseudo-perpetual-motion-machine effect. However this will eventually slow down rather abruptly, as the cat's rotation is a muscular movement, and the rotation speed at which a cat can survive is limited.

In short: They'll spin really really fast until poor kitty dies from diziness, resulting in the toast landing butter-side down.
