My 2-month-old kitten is suddenly sleepy and not drinking water. Is she sick?

We have 2 mo old kitten sisters that we adopted 2 weeks ago. Mosey is always playful & rambunctious. All of a sudden today she just wants to sleep, she'll eat wet food & hasn't drank a lot of water.

This can be a sign that Mosey is sick. It's good that she is still eating, so I'd keep an eye on her for now. If she continues to act lethargic over the weekend, take her into a vet on Monday. Should she stop eating, take her into an ER vet right away.
