Does your cat eat less when it's hot?

My gal seems to be eating about half as much as she usually does. It's been in the upper 80s to mid 90s here.

I have a 12 year old female and two 1 year old boys, who happen to be brothers, all rescued. They all eat less in this heat and humidity. I monitor all 3 very closely and freshen the water at least 4 times a day.

In the house she lies in front of the a/c vents. She is doing that right now as I type this.
