Why are cats so much more focused on cleanliness than dogs? Is there an evolutionary advantage for cats to remain clean and no such advantage for dogs?

I was watching the cat at my work clean herself today, and I realized that dogs only tend to lick themselves when they're wounded. They don't clean themselves the way cats do. If they're both predators I don't understand why it would be more beneficial for cats to remain clean and not for dogs to stay clean.

Cats and dogs are predators, but they have very different hunting strategies.

Dogs are chasers.  When they find prey, they run them down and kill them.  Cats are pouncers.  They lie in wait and strike when prey is in range.

The difference means that it's not very important to a dog if the prey knows there are dogs in the area because the dogs are going to chase the prey down if they run.

Cats are very particular about their hygiene and elimination so as not to drive the prey from their territory.
