My 7 week old kitten is drinking a lot of water. Should they be limited on the amount they drink? Thanks Rhonda

If your kitten is eating well and is playful and otherwise normal, I would not be too concerned. However, if he is drinking so much that he is vomiting up water or urinating excessively, then I would recommend an examination by your veterinarian.
