How to get my cat with a tumor to eat when she's throwing up?

Question

Our cat recently started throwing up bile and clear saliva type liquid 3 times a day. This has been going on for 4 days. She hasn't been eating and acts like it is difficult for her to drink water and when she does she throws up. We took her to the vet and they said she has a tumor under her tongue and we need to decide what we want to do as far as treatment. In the mean time we just don't know how to get her to eat. She's already very picky and won't eat soft cat food even. She's losing weight. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | 15 years and 9 months old | 7 lbs

Poor Amelia! This tumor could be very painful to her, and that may be why she isn't eating. It could hurt too much for her to eat. You can try offering her some boiled white meat chicken (no bones), but if she won't eat that, take her back into the vet to discuss giving her pain medications. Have pain relief may help her eat again. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. I would also make a decision as soon as possible on treatment for her, she cannot stay in this condition for long. I hope this helps!
