But isn't he called first one (chakra) and then another (natural energy)? How can he be natural energy and have a chakra at the same time?

The Cataclysm (4 databook) description says that it has a huge amount of chakra and only interacts with nature's energy, but for some reason the Senjutsu technique does not have, which is strange.

I don't see the hang up here. It is a construct of natural energy, meaning that it is formed from the God Tree seed consuming the planet's energy. But, as a living thing it produces chakra (the original chakra bearing living thing, in fact). Both can be and are true.

Cataclysm doesn't control the Senjutsu chakra inside the Juubi, that's why it's not Senjutsu. It's massive chakra just screws with the flow of the planet's natural energy, causing the destruction. When it's just the amount of chakra causing it, it falls under Ninjutsu.
