Kittens drool as a way to show affection and contentment. Some cats continue with this behavior into adulthood. Some kittens drool when they are stressed or as an anticipation of getting fed. However drooling can also be a sign of nausea of illness so a vet trip may be considered.

Kittens sometimes "forget" to close their mouths when they're sleeping because they're so relaxed. There is nothing to worry about so just enjoy the cuteness.

They have an excess amount of saliva and are not used to keeping their mouths shut for long periods, thus drooling.
