My cat has not eaten in over 8 hours. It has been a hot weekend here. Could that be the cause of my cats loss of appetite

Hi Lauren, thanks for the help. My cat is doing a lot better, she still isn’t eating her normal food but she is eating small bits of chicken. She did try to eat her normal food after eating the chicken and she threw up a small amount of it however she is starting to feel playful again. She is drinking and using the litter box as normal.
Hi kelly,
She is an outdoor/ indoor cat and has many places where she likes to hide. She also has fresh water in both the garage where she sleeps and on our back porch. She is eating little pieces of chicken however when i offered it to her she ate them too fast and threw it back up. She uses the litter box as usual and is drinking water normally. Thank you for your help.
Hi Jen,
There could be lots going on. Certainly the heat could be a reason. Is your cat an outside cat? If it’s an inside cat be sure that your cat has access to fresh water too. Try a different type of food–like stinky canned cat food or can tuna to see if you can get your cat to eat. Make sure you have a fan to circulate air if it’s inside to help with the heat.
If you cat continues to not eat and isn’t drinking or peeing or pooping, please contact your vet.
good luck!

Keep your cat cool and hydrated , fresh water and a fan would be good .
