I’m going to be gone for most of a day (around 17 hours, maybe a little longer) and one of my cats will have to be left in a kennel because he has pica and eats carboard, paper/magazines, plastic bags, carpet fibers, loose threads on blankets or towels. I have 2 kennels that I can connect together and put the litter box at the end of one and put his food and water at the end of the other and he will still have enough space to lay down in between them. The food/water would be about 27” from the start of the litter box and he would be laying closer to the litter box (possibly with his face just a few inches from it if he turns that direction. If I put a totally fresh litter box in would that be safe for him to have his food/water that close to where he’s going to the bathroom or is that too close and risks bacteria getting into his food/water or breathing them in? I attached a photo of what it would look like. The entire length from
end to end is 48” and the litter box is about 27” from the food and the cat could lay much closer to it. Is this dangerous? Is it too close to where he could breathe in dangerous bacteria or the bacteria could get into his food/water? Or would this be safe for 17 hours or so? Please don’t say it’s safe unless you’re 100% sure nothing bad could happen to him.
