The most basic thing is to make the cat as comfortable as possible at home. Some owners give the cat its favourite food in the last days or weeks, offer comfort when the cat needs it, or give it space if that's what it prefers. Anything that keeps the cat relaxed and otherwise happy. General care can differ from cat to cat, and will vary depending on the injury or illness.

Aside from this, the best thing to do is to consult with your vet about what is best. If you believe your cat is uncomfortable, your vet may be able to prescribe some treatment to make the cat a little more comfortable. If you and your vet agree that medication will not work or is not ideal for whatever reason, or you think the cat's quality of life cannot be maintained, it may be time to think about putting the cat to sleep to keep the cat from suffering.

No-one but you can decide what the best option is, as you will know your pet better than anyone. Your vet can talk you through all the options and will help you in whatever you decide.

Does a cat get mean when there dying?

some cats get more tired and slink away more. I'm not sure if this applies to cats, but when some animals get old and senile they become more aggressive. If your cat disappears for days on end and begins to hide a lot, that may mean they are dying. I've always heard that it's almost like cats are trying to hide from death.
