Ten-hour flight with my cat this week. Should I feed and give water on the plane?

The schedule is something like this:

• 3 p.m. - Arrive at airport
• 6 p.m. - Fly for 10 hours

So that's a good 13-hour period my cat's going to be out of her comfort zone. If I feed and give water an hour before leaving, that's quite a long time for her. Should I give some food and water on the plane?

I also have absorbing pads in case she has to use the bathroom.

Afterwards is a five-hour layover with pet rest areas and then a five-hour flight, which won't be as bad. I was going to make sure she ate and drank a bit on the layover and then hopefully she sleeps on the last leg of the journey.
