No no no no no. If they breath in water they will get pneumonia. Water can very easily get into their lungs, and if a kitten gets water in their lungs it is all over. ALSO Be very careful if you have to feed them with a syringe Let them lick the syringe end don't put it in their mouth unless they go for it, then you must let as little out as possible. No rushing feeding kittens, this also leads to pneumonia.
