what does it mean when cats wash eachother

It can be a mixture of affection and also dominance. Two cats who are not close will not usually groom each other. If both cats groom each other equally, they have quite a special relationship! If it is usually just the one cat grooming the other, it is also a sign that the one grooming (usually the older one) feels that he is above the other cat/kitten in terms of 'social standing' in the household!

They like each other and comfort each other with social grooming like a mom cat with kittens.

They are just being affectionate with one another and perhaps marking their scent as well.
