Because they're imps! he-he
Both a cat and dog will roll around to dry off. They'll also do it to get rid of the shampoo smell and get a more natural smell.
They both depend on how an animal smells to identify it so having a shampoo smell just doesn't smell right to them!
I just washed my two before I put tick/flea drops on them. After I put the drops on them, they started rolling around. One more then the other but neither one liked the unnatural smell! :)
Try brushing them on a regular basis, you may not have to bathe them as often!
In the meantime, have fun with them and give them a hug for me! :)

Dogs because of their origins! Pack leaders always had a distinctive smell (Strong) so dogs believe that, by rolling themselves in dirt, they will smell like the pack leader! They think they smell ferocious when in fact ... They stink!
I don't know about cats i only studied canine !!!

My personal thought is to piss me off, but in reality I think it's to dry off. As dry as we think they are, their undercoats remain damp for quite some time.

the same reason we play in the mud! **muddin in trucks**, cause its fun!
i usually don't let my dogs out till they are ALL dry...of course this means they rub their butts all over my living room rugs, and couch!

they don't want to smell like shampoos. kinda hard to hunt when you smell synthetic.
