Although I have not experienced this myself, I have read many post from people on this board that have had this issue. I always make sure not to allow the bell to leave view of my screen. If the cat does knock it into the barn or basement when I enter it is usually there. So, my only advice to you is to not allow it to leave your line of site. Here is one of the previous topics about this with even more advice: http://fogu.com/hmforum/viewtopic.php?f ... t=cat+bell

Cat bells have a tendancy to vanish. Cher even says so in the game guide. I haven't had problems with this though. I keep my bells in my rucksack or storage and only throw them in open areas (anywhere without doors or things that could obsecure the bell).

EDIT: Haha... I just lost a cat bell through my front door. Stupid cats.

EDIT EDIT: The bell I lost showed up in my storage a few days later. O.o

I lost my cat's bell when I go to bed. I left it in my house (not in the rucksack and storage). The next morning, I found that the bell was vanished.
I don't hv big problem with that, since I can buy it again in the bazzar.

My big problem is that my dog's bone is vanished and Felix didn't sell it again in the bazzar

Yeah, if you leave it sitting out overnight (the bell or the bone, either one) it will vanish just like anything else you leave on the ground too long. It's the one guaranteed way to lose the pet toys. If you don't want to lose them, make sure they're in storage or the rucksack every night.

It looks like a jingle bell.
You can see a picture of it on the main HM9 site: http://www.fogu.com/hm9/farm/pets.php

Yeah,now I recognize it.
Is there any ways to get the dog bone again ?
I prefer to train dog than cat, honestly...

You'll just have to buy another bone from Felix at the bazaar unless it magically shows up in your storage like mine did. That is, unless you left it out on the ground.
