When should I worry about cats not eating in this heat?

My two cats are normally good eaters but have been really off there food in this heat.

When should I worry ?

If they’re still drinking water and eating a little I wouldn’t worry at all. They’re really good at self regulating.

Can you feed them later in the day or earlier in the morning to see if that helps?

Following this as my cat hasn’t eaten in two days 😔

I'm just giving mine half of what he normally eats, tending more towards the chunks in sauce. He seems to be liking it fridge cold as well, at the moment. I worry too because he's about the fluffiest cat I know, and he seems not to want to come in at all!

Mine are 7 months so I'm making sure they have clean fresh water and cat milk available. They are not interested in their usual cat food so I'm giving them cooked chicken and salmon. I also get little yogurt treats from the pet shop which they eating too. They will eat in the morning at 6am and usually not again until the sun goes down. They are drinking milk and water though.

Im finding they are crying for food, but when I feed them it's not being touched so I'm throwing it away.

Ours is eating breakfast in small instalments, starting around 6am and finished by 7. I add extra water to the wet food.
He’s having dinner around 9, same scenario.
Have more than one water source available, mine’s been drinking from the wildlife water bowl instead of his own.
