But if you tie toast butter side up to a cat's back and drop it, they hover.

Mythbusters disproved that theory!
It lands butterside down when brushed off a table, but when put in a perfectly vertical freefall from any height, it's a 50/50 chance! Ha!

I saw that. The reason it lands butter side down is because the angular velocity is not enough for it to make it all the way around when it falls off the table/plate/mong. when you release it from a neutral position it's pretty even.
