Cats and the heat

I'm really worried about Dennis - not sure if it's heat related or if he's poorly...

Earlier on today I noticed him breathing fast and sticking his tongue out. I assumed he was really hot and bothered. He's been fairly chilled out today but has still played in the garden.

We went out earlier this evening and have got home and he's breathing really quickly (80 breaths per minute approx). He came and laid on DP which he hasn't done for months. DP moved and he just laid on the floor. Hasn't eaten his dinner today either and DP said he didn't eat breakfast though I think he's probably nibbled at biscuits. Plenty of water dotted about.

Do I need to take action now? Vets? Can it wait til morning?

Anyone's cat's more vocal in the heat? Fatty is very talkative at the minute. Not heard that for ages.

Yes, my cat is, it's like he's asking me to turn the heat down, he's had enough. Most of the time he's just licking the jelly off his food. It went a bit cooler last night, he ate more then, it's sooo humid tonight.
