Should I let my cats roam free in car on 8 hour car trip?

We are going on a trip this summer. We took them on a 5 hour car trip last summer, but they were much smaller and fit in the crate a lot better. They’ve been in the car a lot so they don’t freak out or anything, in fact, all they really want to do is look out the window. I’m mostly just afraid they’re going to have to potty and can’t get to the litter box. We’re taking a Rodeo and there is plenty of room to have their crate so they can go in and sleep, their litter box, and food. I know that people say they can get under feet and cause and accident but I think I could keep them from doing that (I’m not driving). Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else had ever done this.

i have a rat what kind of bedding should i use or what do other rat owners use?

i have a male rat named skitz he is so cute but any way…i want to try n litter train him but i was told that u should compleatly change the beddin to a diff type i read that u can use rabbit food as bedding …does ne one do this and how does it work or what do u use and how did u train it do use the litter box?
How long did u have the rat before u litter trained him/her i have had mine for about 5 months or so…so im afraid he wolnt even try to do it
i curently use carefresh……but most websites say to put some of the soiled bedding in the litter box to train him and then cange his bedding to a diff type that he wolnt confuse for his potty box
actually ur not suposed to use cedar it makes the urine stronger..wood is not a good idea unless its aspen i believe….and no hamsters are not the same as rats rats are much more complexso the same beding might not apply
