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.

Whoops - just saw that you said they're 4 months old.
Some kittens will tend to do this. Some will suck on blankets too (I had one
that did that but he grew out of it). Your's should grow out of it too.

If Mama becomes irritated by it, she'll let him know; same with brother, if
he starts to get tired of it, he'll give the nurser a swat. I wouldn't worry
about it if they don't mind.
