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."

They also do it to assert dominance, which is hilarious 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.
