Well, he's nursing on his brother's fur and his spayed mother's tummy fur
where her nipls are.
Should I worry, separate them or will he grow out of it?  Will this behavior
cause psychological illness in the poor host cat?  The kitty/leech is not
stopped or dissuaded by either the host brother or mother.  Everyone
involved seems to be okay with it except for us human onlookers.  I have
heard of kittens trying to nurse human earlobes, but not each other.  advice
appreciated.

One of my cats loved to suck on satin all his life.  It was just something
he did.  It did no harm.  And was no problem.  The other cats will stop him
if it bothers them.  Let it be.

I agree with Linda. I had a cat who would suck on little stringy things
on the carpet. As it never posed a health hazard I just let him be.
Good luck...
