Cat suddenly eating less?

Hi all, I’m a relatively new cat parent (adopted my cats back in March this year) so apologies if anything seems wrong not incorrect. For the past couple of days, one of my cats is suddenly eating a lot less food. Both my cats loved wet food, but this one in particular liked it so much that she’d often try to steal some from the other, so I had to separate their bowls a bit. Now, she still comes running when it’s time to give them wet food, but she just takes a few bites and walks away. Nothing I do entices her to take more - I’ve tried treats, hand feeding, trying different times and even different types (they usually eat WholeHearted pate but today I tried Royal Canin Adult Instinctive but there was no change). I leave a bowl each of dry food out for both of them, I’m not entirely sure how much of that she is having. I’m not always in the room with the food, but it does seem like she eats the dry food sometimes, and she’s still drinking water.

I tried contacting the vet, but I won’t hear back before Monday. I will definitely schedule her for Monday, but I’m just worried it’s something serious. Has anyone had something like this happen? She isn’t showing any changes in behavior - she’s as affectionate as ever, still likes treats and to play, and doesn’t seem lethargic. Stool looks normal but she sometimes uses her box and sometimes uses the other cat’s box, so there is the possibility that the stool I’ve seen so far is only the other cat’s.
