The idea of grooming as dominance is an outdated theory that came from a single, informal study over 25 years ago. More recent research has largely debunked it, showing that cat social structures are much more complex and fluid than a simple "alpha" hierarchy.
When cats groom each other (a behavior called allogrooming), it's much more likely a sign of affection, bonding, and trust. It's one of the clearest signs that your cats have a strong, positive relationship and feel safe with each other

Kittens actually groom to show love, they will groom their siblings to show they love them, older cats groom to show dominance,
