Unfortunately that is too long. He does not need to be in a crate more than 4 hours MAX at a time. I would get an ex-pen and put a tarp under it and put him in the living area. Put things in the ex-pen that will occupy him. Put his bed in there, pee pads, food, water, toys....he should be good to go in there all day while yall are at work. Putting the ex-pen in the living area would certainly get him out of the kitchen and having the tarp (or shower curtain) under the pen would prevent messes on the carpet. Like I said earlier, neutering him will help with the peeing.
