Best Answer

A cat might lick a dog out of affection. Cats often lick each other both to clean hard to reach spots, and as a kind of social bonding. A cat that has been raised with dogs might lick a dog for the same reasons.

Cats are both very clean and very social animals, so if you have two cats they may lick each other as a sign of affection and friendship.
