One cat trying to drink from another

My cats are stressing me out! I got one female cat back in February, so she will be coming up for one year old quite soon. In May I got another kitten, so she will be almost half a year old now. The older cat obviously does not produce milk as she has not had a litter of her own and has no need to, yet the younger cat feels the need to suck on my older cat's nipple. Should I be worried about this? The younger one is perfectly capable of eating and drinking from a bowl, so it's not because she is hungry.I fear for the health of my older cat more so - can this affect her?

It can make her nipples sore, but at least the other cat is sucking on a female cat! I have a kitten that used to suck on 3 of our MALE cat's nipples, but Tony and Rygel finally kicked them off and Boo has pushed her off the nipples tho lets her suck on his neck/chest... and she's a year and a half now!

Oh bless! Yeah I did worry that it would hurt the elder cat (Tish), but she seems to purr contently whenever my younger cat (Hilda) is snuggling up to her. Male cats? Oh that would be quite a nightmare - I am lucky they are both female!
