Hello there, id say it has to do with grooming and picking up hair by the tongue. I used to work at a pet store if that's any help. But maybe asking a vet would be better. Anyway that's all i have to say lol. :oD Catch!
Well; cats may have rough tongues to this as an extra; but it's shown that they have rough tongues which actually have some kind of small cup like bits on their tongues which allow them to lap up water because their tongues are so small unlike dogs who have larger tongues allowing them to drink water alot easier without the need for these cup like bits.
Cats are particular about cleanliness and the rough tongues help with this. Dogs are more laid back and wait for people to wash them.

∙ 14y agothey are usually not, they just feel that way to your skin, it feels that way because of their rough tongue. They get more spit on it when they're grooming their fur to keep it in place, but if they lick you, they don't really need it, you could say.
