My cat has been diagnosed with an inoperable tumor. Putting her to sleep was recommended. I have brought her home because she hates the vet and I did not want her to "go out" there. She is happy here and is resting comfortably. I have spoken with a home vet to take care of it here at the house.



At this point, she has not eaten in a couple of days and is losing weight. She is interested in iced water only. She still urinates. She will get up and follow me to another room, but lays down where ever I stop. She purrs when I pet her.



What should I do to keep her comfortable?

How long can she go without eating?

When do I know the time to "do it" has arrived?



Thanks.
