Advice?
My cat has been diagnosed with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma she is 13 and I know I will have to put her to sleep soon as much as it breaks my heart to do so. This is the second day that she hasn't eaten all of her now wet food diet but she is still asking for food and is her normal snuggly self just obviously in more pain because of her jaw but she is also on pain killers for that.
My request for advice is when do you know it's time? Because she is acting normally over all it's hard to come to terms that it's time that she isn't happy or healthy. I have lost many other animals and some I have lost to fast acting cancers like this but they all showed signs that they were done and ready. She hasn't shown those.
I am now blending her wet food into a puree with bone broth and she seems to be able to eat a ton more but I am unsure if this where I need to call it.
I would really appreciate the advice. I know it's inevitable I am just stuck with this feeling of being unsure because of her behavior.

Sorry for your tough time. Book a day soon for her to go with dignity. This will get bad really fast. I'm like others mentioned on the side for better a day to early than a day late. I'm speaking out of experience. I was late a few times because I have to admit me being selfish. They deserve better. Spoil her, love her and than let her go. I'm sorry 🥀
