One of our cats did the same thing as a kitten.  (We thought it had
something to do with the fact that he had been bottle-raised; his
mother was hit by a car when he should have still been suckling.)

The good news is that he apparently outgrew it.  We never tried to
break the habit (except at night - a kitten trying to suckle at your
earlobes while you're trying to sleep is annoying!).  It just went
away on its own.  (It may be like thumb-sucking in kids.  Many never do,
the rest outgrow it sooner or later.)
