just like we shower.. they basically shower in their spit.. well now it sounds grose. BUT it's to keep clean.
My friends cat had something wrong with his tounge so he couldn't lick/clean himself and it was only for a few days but he was GROSE!
so thats why

I believe they lick not only to clean themselves, but to relieve the itch.

They cant really turn on the shower and jump in and wash off, can they? So they clean with what is available :)

To clean themselves...they don't get a bath all the time.

For several reasons, such as cleaning, scratching, healing wounds, and grooming.

As has been said many times over...BECAUSE THEY CAN.
