I think I've figured this out, and my explanation even extends to boxes, squares and anything else cats like to sit in.
Every cat has an invisible Lakitu with a camera flying around them, giving them a 3rd person view of themselves. The cat, well aware of how good they look, uses this to arrange themselves in the most aesthetically pleasing way.
