Pets: Cat can't use litterbox?

Nushnushganay

I just adopted a cat in the Pets pack, and the cat wants a nice clean litterbox, and when I click on the litterbox, the only option is "Place in Inventory" and when I click on the cat, I don't find any option to use the litterbox. I changed the location of the litterbox, got a different kind of litterbox, even sold and bought new ones, and so far, there isn't a way to let the cat use the litterbox.

Any advice?

I've seen this too, and I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not. Try to make sure there's a litterbox on each floor (good practice for real-life cats too.) Also at times they'll complain about litterboxes and then use them a few minutes later.

Will try to see if it resolves, because I had no problem getting a cat to use a litterbox previously in a game. Not sure what the problem is this time. The house is technically one floor because it's a Tiny house and the attic is where I placed the bed, with a ladder leading up to it instead of stairs, so I don't guess the cat can get up there.

The only thing I can think of....have you tried to reset your cat? You can do this 2 different ways.... If you open the cheat window and type: "resetsim [First Name] [Last Name (if there is one)]. If you cannot get your pet to reset that way, turn on "testingcheats true", shift click on pet and select "reset object".

I would do this, buy a new litterbox, save, exit to worldview, then reload the lot from there.

Good luck! Happy simming!

The cat uses the litterbox autonomously, you don't guide them to do so. Not sure if I got the problem right, but it's possible it's working just as it should.
