    Maybe you should get watson to help find it:-). this note gave me
    a chuckle. Does Sherlock have a cat door so he can go in and out
    as he pleases? Maybe he took it outside. Is it maybe behind a drape
    that covers that window? Anyway Good luck.

    I love this one.  No chance of tracking it by looking for small
    pieces of dirt on the floor?  This reminds me of the game my indoor
    cats play:  hid where Mom can't find us, just until she becomes
    hysterically convinced we've somehow gotten outside and are lost,
    then casually walk out into the open.
    

    Once a week or so, Sulkitt removes my watch from my dresser.  I
    go without for a day or two, until she returns it to me in her mouth
    while I'm watching TV.  I still don't know where she hides it in
    the meantime...

    RE .1 - No cat door and no drapes, curtains, or blinds behind which
    he could have hidden it.
    
    RE .2 - The only dirt on the floor was in the immediate area of
    the plant.  No dirt anywhere else in the house!
    
    By the way, we did ask Watson, but he just smiles!  (Watson is
    Sherlock's Teddy Bear.)

    My Abys do that to me all the time!!! And, as you said, once they're
    convinced we're in a semi-hysterical, near comatose state from worrying
    they simply *appear* in the room.  
    
    
    I LOVE 'um anyway!!

    You will probably find the pot right in the middle of the floor
    when you get home from work today!

    My wife made the nasty comment that maybe your husband broke it
    and is trying to blame it on the cats. What some wives will stoop
    to! :-)

    Maybe Sherlock did not have anything to do with it, maybe someone
    broke into your house and knocked it over?
    

    Re .6 - If I do find it in the middle of the floor, I'll know for
    sure that Sherlock had nothing to do with its disappearance!  He's
    been at the vet's since yesterday morning being "fixed", and we
    aren't picking him up until tonight.
    
    Re .7 - What can I say?!? :-)

    This also reminds me of the time when we had company from Venezuela
    stay with us for a few days.  My husband and I had to leave to go
    to work before the guests drove to their next vacation spot.  We
    told them to just make sure they don't let Selina out when they
    leave.  Selina pulled a stunt on them.  She *disappeared* when they
    were ready to leave. They looked and looked for her.  Selina put
    them an hour behind on their schedule until she came out from hiding
    prancing around like "ha ha the jokes on you".
    
    What a trip!!

    SO????  What was the outcome of the case of the missing pot?

    I found the pot this past Saturday!  It was behind my philodendron
    (which is in a large redwood pot on the floor).  It just appeared.
    I know it was not there before because both my husband and I had
    looked behind the plant several times (not to mention caring for
    the philodendron and vacuuming behind it several times).
    
    Guess I'll never know where it went or why it chose to reappear
    behind Irving (the philodendron).

    You may have stumbled upon something!  Perhaps behind the philodendron
    is where your cats escape to the "other" dimension!  Keep an eye
    on it!  The pot may have fallen back through the portal accidentally.
    
    I am dying to find the spot where my cats enter and exit their "other"
    dimension.  So many times I have come so close!  When I am looking for
    them, and they suddenly appear where no cat had been standing prior to
    their appearance.  It's so frustrating, they always appear when you
    turn your back for just ONE instant!!!  They're so good at making
    themselves look innocent and bored about the whole thing, too.
    
    There must be several toys that they have taken there and left,
    or perhaps given away...  Who knows with cats?

    I wish I could find my two Kitties dimension.  They
    have hidden mascara, eye liner, a couple of towels,
    and a check I had received for my Birthday.  I think
    they go out on the town when I am gone ;^> !!!

    I still vote for the husband.
    
    there is another possibility: does the spot seem cold when you approach
    it?  :-)

    	Are you sure that your plant Irving's other name is
    	Phil O'Dendron? :-)

    RE: .16
    
    Yep!  But how did you know that Irving is Irish?
