Alt: Cats are able to right themselves as they are falling, toast is not.
Also, toast does not always land buttered side down, it is slightly more likely to.
This is more down to how it falls than some external reason causing it to flip this way.

I think it is something to do with
the average height of work surfaces being the ideal for a slice of bread to undertake a 180 degree rotation. This is because as the slice falls it will normally have one edge go first so the rotation is imparted and the height means it gets through 180 prior to impact

Battered's toast usually lands on the edge.

Battared's toasts are normally in liquid form

To be fair
The slice of toast is so big compared to him he simple uses it as a kitchen lean to and camps out Bear Grylls style, saddling up mice to go hunting.
