I used to travel with a cat more and we just had a smaller litter box. It stayed in a hard Carrier so that she didn’t get litter all over. Then she free roamed the car
We once had a 20+ hours roadtrip and my mother's boyfriends cat was leashed on a small cat tree in the middle back seat. Apart from one incident she was ok with being let out the car (on a leash of course) and do her buisness every 3 hours.
Also every 3 hours is really plenty, cats are pretty good at holding it in.
(No travel experience, but my cat has a talent for sneaking into places getting locked up 12+ hours like over night or working day in the basement and such and there's never been any messes.)
Was very surprised when a few months after my roommate got a couple of cats one of them didn’t come for breakfast. Since usually even opening the food closet resulted in a stampede and circling howling vultures.
We were kinda worried since both of them had a penchant for escaping, but eventually we found him in the upstairs office. He’d taken a nap under my desk when I was playing video games the night before, and since there’s only a couple inch gap I didn’t think to check under it before closing the door.
No mess in the room, and he didn’t even visit the litterbox until after breakfast. Had to’ve been over 12 hours.
Sure! I guess she didn't go every 3 hours, that would be quite excessive for most cats. I just wanted to highlight that it is not such a difficult thing, thankfully. Then moving a bit every couple of hours is good for kitty and hooman.
Yep, our cat once got outside and stuck on our Chimney for almost 24 hours. She snuck out the night before while my husband was going on to our balcony, and then we noticed the next evening that we had not seen her. We didn't notice at first because it was shortly after adopting her and she was prone to hiding quite a bit still. Finally when we saw her we got her inside, and she did go use the litter box shortly after we got her in, but it didn't seem to be her first priority even. Though I suppose she had not had food or water, either.
