There is value to having the conversation about "holding on for too long". But...

But, "euthanasia vs palliative care" is a conversation that must be between you (the owner) and your vet

It's possible that there are other, addressable reasons for being unable to make it to the litter box, and a vet visit is necessary to identify and address these issues

As well, it's possible that it is indeed "time". A conversation with the vet is best
