9 lives ?

the symbol (between the nine hearts and the -po) is neither a comma nor a quotation mark. it can indicate possession.

okay, but there aren't nine full lives, one is 3/4 full. I thought originally it was a reference to a cat, but I don't see how the -po fits in. Cat's? So what I've got so far is a cat with (almost) nine lives who's missing their P.O. box, or just a "po" more generally. This is not going well. My brain doesn't seem to do rebus puzzles...I may be too literal a thinker. What word is the -po referring to?

you need to name the symbol in order to make sense of the "-po"

That punctuation mark indicates possession. It’s called an _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Subtract the po.

Now add that 9 lives thing up front.
