Hi Rivkah.
Do you mean you wouldn't say a cat of your daughter's
which is equivalent to a colleage of x's.
( people say this, but it's a common error -- a double possessive.)
But what's wrong with a cat of your daughter?
or a pen of my aunt?
or the pen of my aunt,
or Le Penn of an Auntisemite, for that matter?
