premise: A man in a robe sits on a stoop with his coffee while a cat keeps him company. hypothesis: The resident waits with his pet for the morning paper to arrive.
neutral: Sitting on a stoop does not necessarily imply the man is a resident.  Not all cats are pets; the cat being present does not necessarily imply it is his cat.  Sipping coffee on a stoop does not necessarily imply he is waiting for the morning paper.
