Why do cats lick their whole body after eating They only eat with their mouth
Cats lick their fur to rid it of dirt and to keep their coat waterproof. The licking also helps strengthen the cat's own scent. By repeatedly licking themselves, cats smooth their fur, thus providing better protection against the cold. When cats tug at their fur, they stimulate glands that release a secretion that helps to keep their coat waterproof. Although cats often enjoy being petted, they will usually groom themselves afterward, in order to rid themselves of the human scent and increase their own scent. Their fur also becomes ruffled by petting, and licking will smooth it.
During warm weather, cats lick themselves to keep cool. They do not have sweat glands or pores, so the layer of saliva acts like human sweat by drying and evaporating, lifting heat away from the cat's body.
it is a instinct to get to food smell off them, iread this somewhere, try searching in google. the also clean themselves as a nervous reaction.
Your cat's instincts are telling her that she has engaged in a fight with what she has just eaten and she has to get the smell of it's blood off her body so that larger predators won't come after her. Her brain is not the kind that can think- oh wait a minute, that can of Fancy Feast didn't really put up much of a fight did it?
Besides I think they like grooming. Any excuse will do.
