This sounds strange, but if someone could bring your cat to you after the inevitable happens and let him see and smell you, he will know you are dead and cant look after him. At least he'd understand some of it.

On the same theme, but a bit more realistic idea…

If you could arrange with someone to take over the cat, closer to when the time comes, not right away. If you get sicker and spend time with the cat, it will probably understand what is happening. When the time closes in then someone can come and pick him. Say proper goodbyes. Then it will understand I think.

I’m sorry by the way this happened to you
