We started out in a tiny house with a tiny bathroom. It was less than 5 x 6 feet total, including the shower stall, toilet and cabinetry.
We put the litterbox in the shower and fed him outside on the floor. He had a tall, narrow cat tree, which he loved.
We tried the child gate on the door to allow an illusion of space and so he could see us outside the room. He jumped that gate within the first hour he was home. We kept the gate, even after he had been fully introduced to our household, including the dog. It gave him a safe space to retreat and a place we could feed him where the dog couldn't get his food.
We kept him in the bathroom at night and when we weren't home, with the door closed, and let him roam the upper floor of our house, with supervision, when we were home.
Therefore, I would say that a bathroom is not too small, if kitty still has lots of opportunity to interact with you, at his pace. Also, know that a child gate will not contain him when he wants out. Quasar was only 2 lbs and tiny and he had no problem getting out, or in, at will.
