Why does my cat lick her lips when I scratch the end of her back?

My cat always licks her lips when my brother and I scratch the end of her back (near her butt). I can only wonder why....
Answer:

I think it's what I refer to as the "wiggle spot." You know, like when you scratch a dog in a specific place and he starts shaking his foot like he's scratching. I have a cat who has a wiggle spotlike that. If I scratch her near her tail in just the right spot, back and forth, she'll stick her tongue in and out. It's really funny.

Because it feels good,if you scratch higher towards her neck she should do the same thing.If you put your arm near her face when you are doing it she will lick your arm and may nip a little.This is what cats do to each other it shows affection.

Somehow it stimulates a violent grooming response. LOL I freak out friends/family by doing the same thing with my cat. If she's perched next to someone, I pinch at her back with the same motion as a cat grooming out a tangle and she'll violently bathe the person closest to her. Seems to work on all my cats.

maybe it's just his/her habit ?
