Is there any important difference between 'I don't have a cat' and 'I have not a cat?'

"I have not a cat" isn't something a native English speaker would say. They mean the same thing, but definitely use "I don't have a cat."

Same as in English - they describe the same situation, but there is a nuance difference in saying one or the other. Perhaps you would say "I have no cat" as a more emphatic way of answering "Let your cat to catch this mouse."

Like Irish, we have a LOT of dialects and idioms. I think neither Duo, nor many of the English speakers account for that.
