How much water is normal for a aprox 5 month old kitten to drink? Especially while agressive playing?

I'm not sure in the exact amount per day but I do know that when my cat was a kitten she drank alot more water than my adult cat.

Agreed
If they eat dry food, they will drink quite a bit. If they eat nothing but canned food, they will not drink very much at all. If you're seeing something unusual or odd, I would call the vet.

My cats eat nothing except dry food so I leave bowls of water in every room of the house. I have a set of baby scales and keep track of their weight and once I thought about keeping track of how much water they drank but things such as evaporation and spillage would not make this very accurate but I can tell you that they probably drink a lot more water than cats that eat only wet food. I do keep track to that point to know that is true.
