They are shifting their weight and stance to the most stable position from which to launch their bodies. It's kind of like when a weight lifter first picks up a weighted bar and sort of shifts his/her grip to the most balanced place to put his/her hands. It helps the cat to jump exactly where it is aiming.

Yes they do. They will crouth down in the front, dig their feet a little and shake their butts a few times before pouncing. This is not an abnormal thing for most cats.

Yes, they do. Watch professional tennis players and track stars as they prepare for their moves. It moves energy into the muscles that will be used for the pounce or the move that is to be made.

Reflex, getting the whole body ready to do whatever. Natural

They are simply trying to get noticed by the latest in kitty fashion mags. quite normal.
