I like this project a lot. It makes me wonder if I put one of those Apple AirTags on her for the HomePods to sense, if I can then say, "Hey, Siri, where is the cat?"

It would be nice to get a response like, "She's in the litter box" so I know to use a different bathroom to wash my hands.

off topic: is it common to have a litter box in a bathroom? According to the things I've read, cats prefer to have their "scent soaker" in more common areas, so I've not ventured there...

I think a lot of people do it so they only have one place that's a bit smelly instead of two

Fairly common - if say ~20% of cat owners I know keep the litter box in the bathroom.

We do. Tiles, not carpeted. Keeps smells away from living room etc.

When living in a larger house, I had the litter box under the stairs, in a small apartment, bathroom was the best option.
