I have always followed this since the early days of my career, avoiding taking PTO during the peak holiday season or long weekends.
You save yourselves from many other issues like overpriced flights and hotel charges. If planning a road trip, you can avoid holiday traffic while on the road

I’ve had many cats in my life who I have loved dearly. They truly were members of my family.
The excessive weight lose is a bad sign to me.
When they got to the point where they needed to be put down, there’s not one of them that I didn’t wish I had put them down sooner.
Save your cat the suffering. Please take it to the vet and put it down. Make sure it’s she’s hydrated.

I'm absolutely loving the holiday moratorium at work. This week I sat around and did pretty much nothing and it was GLORIOUS! I'm usually rather busy day to day in my field of work.

My job gives us the entire week leading up to Christmas off, and then we work from home on call the week leading up to new years. They also give us Thursday through Friday off the week of Thanksgiving. And we get the rest of the standard holidays off. All paid of course.
This frees up our vacation time to use during the rest of the year.

Ours carry for 6 months for contract employees and a year for permanent staff. So all 2022 leave days have to be used by 31 Dec 2023 for me.

My cat did this too; I plugged in small nightlights to help him get around. He didn't yowl after that.

Hey, you know that week of the year when everybody wants to enjoy time with their loved ones? Don't take week off. Sit around an empty office doing nothing instead.

I adopted an elderly cat from the pound and she used to go downstairs, “get lost”, and howl so I put up a gate at night. She was also hyperthyroid and demented so she took meds for her thyroid. The vet switched suppliers and the meds stopped working.

I'm so sorry you and your friend are going through this. A client recently found that swaddling her old man and leaving lights on helped some.

What you've described is exactly what our 16 year old cat was doing. It started last year when she suddenly went blind (vet couldn't explain how). We also noticed that sometimes she would sit still with her mouth open, almost like she was in pain, and drooling. She started losing weight, but like your cat, continued to eat normally, could use her litter tray with no problem, and could still find her way around the house and garden (the fact we've been here 14 years probably helped). However, she would often yowl loudly in the garden like she was lost, but could always find her way back inside. She would also yowl loudly for several minutes when going into her bed for a nap during the day. The vet thought she probably did have dementia. For the weight loss, the vet kept saying that they could do more tests to find out what might be wrong, but in the end we decided that she was old, had had a good life, but the outlook wasn't good for her. So, sadly, we put her to sleep. But, we know we did the right thing for her in the end. We think she may have suffered a stroke at some point but couldn't be sure. What ever you decide to do with your cat, I'm sure you'll do what's best for you and them.
