I second the recommendation to check all doors. We have a “self closing” door to an office, and sometimes it doesn’t latch. One of our little guys is especially talented at pulling it open and running in, and it often will latch behind him, locking him in. We’ve come home more than once to find him locked in there. Fortunately never for an extended period of time, but it gives me nightmares to think about, so we are careful to check it if we’re going to be gone overnight. We also leave the toilet lids up.

I would think that if they’re used to having a clean litter box twice per day that you would DEFINITELY want to leave an extra box (or even two) for a 2-day absence.
