Sometimes when a cat grooms another cat, it's nice. A cat helping another cat out, cleaning those hard-to-get spots on the back of the neck with a friendly lick.

Other times? It's more like, "Hey, I want that nice nap spot, and I'm going to annoy you until you give it to me."

Doubly hilarious is that rabbits receive licks/grooming in dominance. So if a cat licks a bunny, they both think they are the top.

What I'm hearing is that I need to get a bunny for my cat

Well it could also be the cat tryin to very slowly eat the bunny one lick at a time.
