How long can a cat hold it in without cat litter? Cats usually use litter boxes when they have litter boxes around them, and if they don’t have litter boxes, they may excrete elsewhere, such as carpets or floors. The time when a cat can hold up urine and feces varies depending on the cat's individual differences, and it also depends on factors such as its age, health, diet and water consumption. Generally speaking, adult cats can hold their urine and feces for about 8 to 24 hours, but this is not a standard value, but depends on the individual differences in the cat.
However, even if cats can hold their urine and feces, holding urine and defecation for a long time is not good for their health. If a cat keeps urine and defecates frequently, it can cause urinary tract infections, constipation and other health problems. Therefore, for the health and comfort of the cat, it is best to provide a dry, clean litter box and regularly clean and replace the litter.
If a cat goes out without cat litter, it can hold it in for more than a day until it can't hold it in. It will find a substitute for cat litter and excrete it on it. It is recommended to bring a simple cat litter box when going out for a long time to avoid problems caused by cats holding their poop and urine for too long. Cats hold urine for a long time can easily cause urethra blockage and endanger their lives in severe cases.
There are many types of cat litter. When choosing cat litter, the owner should not only consider whether the cat likes it or not, but also consider whether the cat litter is easy to use. For example, bentonite cat litter has relatively high dust, and long-term use of cats is harmful to the respiratory tract. Since crystal cat litter is made of silicone, it will cause numbness after accidentally ingesting the cat's stomach. The owner can consider tofu cat litter and pine cat litter.
