Senior cat crying, accidents, not eating. Is it time to say goodbye?

Question

My 14 year old cat has been crying/whining when she jumps off of the bed, she has a fatty tumor on her chest and has been having accidents in her sleep. She is overweight but hasn't been eating as much lately, I'm just wondering if it's time to let her go. I've tried to give her the best life she could have. First picture her fatty tumor on her chest, second picture hand for scale for her weight. Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 14 years and 7 months old

Roxy is beautiful. I would recommend evaluating her quality at home and if you feel that she is not happy then it may be something to consider. If you wanted to see if there was anything else going on with her to see if anything is able to be treated then I would recommend blood work and a urine. This would look for kidney and liver issues and also thyroid and urinary tract infection. I would also recommend starting a glucosamine supplement for help with her joints.
