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.)

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.
