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.
