A lot of cats, especially those separated from their mothers at a young age, suck on things to simulate nursing. Most of the cats I’ve had do it on peoples clothes and hair. I do have one cat though that does it on his own arm like yours. Some cats grow out of it but some do it for their whole lives. So, there is no reason you need to worry about it. It’s pretty normal

I have a kitten that likes to do that and the vet said not to worry, that it will not do any harm to the kitten. That they should grow out of it. It is trying to nurse. That is all. So no worry.
