I recently bought a large potted plant.
The problem is with my cat. He now feels
that this plant is a good place to go potty.
He is an indoor cat and he has a litter box he
has used for years. Since I got the plant though,
he would much rather use it!
He is slinging dirt all over the place and
I am sure his digging in there isn't helping
my new plant.
Any suggestions on how to get him back
into the litter box without having to
get rid of my plant? (link)

DON'T DO THAT DIRT OR WATER-BOTTLE CRAP. WRONG.
I had this exact same problem with my cat and the answer is simple. All you have to do is make it not want to go into the plant. How? Get some alluminum foil. Place sheets of it around the base of the plant,then tuck the edges into the pot so the kitty can't see it before he/she jumps in. As soon as it jumps in the pot, the tin-foil will crackle, and send the cat into a state of shock, making it never want to jump into that darn plant again! Do this for about a week or until he/she stops jumping into the plant. I know it sounds weird but it is both hilarious and helpful. To this day, my cat has not jumped into our huge potted plant since the tin foil was put in. Good Luck! :p
