Using a graphing calculator:
Change the function to tan: y = 4/(tan(1/3t))

Explanation:

cot theta = 1/(tan theta)

Using a graphing calculator:
Change the function to tan: y = 4/(tan(1/3t))

Make sure your MODE = radians.
Change your WINDOW to Xmin = -3pi, Xmax = 3pi

There are holes at (-3pi)/2 and (3pi)/2

There are vertical asymptotes at x = 0 and x = -3pi
