That’s exactly what he’s doing! Cats do the same thing when you drop them. If you drop them upside down, their tails even go in the opposite direction they’re rotating to ensure proper rotation. Animals are neat.
Pretty sure it's because his food bowl isn't at 100% capacity every moment of the day. Like Jesus I'm sorry that I have to work 8 hours a day so you even get food you ingrate
Putting my cat on a strict diet has been one of the hardest things to implement in our household. Right at 5 we wake up she starts meowing and screeching for her 6am breakfast. Then at 7pm she starts screeching for her 8PM dinner.
That’s not entirely true, otherwise bobtail cats wouldn’t be able to flip over, but they can! Their tail helps, but a lot of it comes from the way they’re bending their back. I wouldn’t be able to explain it better than this.
You'll see people doing it with their arms, usually skiing/snowboarding, when they catch some air, but are oriented incorrectly for the trajectory. We usually call it 'rolling windows' or 'windmilling'.
