 Unbeknownst to you, however, some thieves broke into your house and stole everything you have, including your cat. Since you could not possibly have foreseen the eventuality of such an absurd theft, it seems that your assertion is appropriate: in response to your friend’s question,  (32)  is simply the right thing to say. However,  (KNA)  and  (TNA)  give a different verdict: they predict that  (32)  is an inappropriate response. What’s more,  (TNA)  (but not  (KNA))  predicts that the appropriate reply would have been to assert the negation of  (32),  namely that you don’t have a cat at home. But again, such a “lucky assertion” would be intuitively inappropriate: since you have no reason to believe that your cat was stolen, in saying that you don’t have a pet you would be  lying.[26]
