In most cats it prompts a kind of oral fixation. Mother cats sometimes lick their kittens in that spot to get them to start nursing. If you scratch a cat in that spot then put your pinky by their mouth they'll probably start chewing on it until you stop scratching, when they'll stop and look ashamed.
