I have this exercise pen. It fits very nicely in my bedroom.
I have bedding at one end and a potty pad, in a litter box at the other end. I take him outside to go potty in the mornings, at lunch, after work and then again, at night.
During the day he doesn't use the pad, but I feel more comfortable with it in there just in case he needs to go.
At night I replace the pad with a bed.... he usually starts whining at about 6am in the morning, to go potty....which is the first time I take him out for his potty break.
