So, the relationship between G and Pupn4p had been shifting for the better since this huge "argument" - it was less an argument and more G being a dick and hurting the Puppy's feelings; I can talk about that if someone wants - that happened between all three of them. This event is the actual turning point of G's emotions towards the Puppy, where he's slowly - although reluctantly - softening around the Puppy; he stops batting him away, and scolding him for no reason, and he'll let the Puppy love on him every once and while - things of that nature. Then, with the added effect that D is traveling a lot to work on his music, they both just have to spend a lot of time together. By now, the Puppy is less skittish around the house and even has his own gaming set-up, but he's still just a little Puppy and gets scared, sad, or has an accident, so he still has to rely on G for a lot of help when his Daddy isn't at home. Obviously after the heat there's still a lot of work to be done - pretty much only on G's end, because the Puppy is happy and bounds around the kitty - but it's less work than what it had been before. After this, G starts showing how much he actually likes the Puppy and their arguments die down into playful bickering like G does with D. Lets be honest though, D is quiet surprised to come back home to find the Puppy sound asleep in G's arms, while G just squints up at him in a daring manner, wanting him to say something smart so he could quip back.

I believe it's commonly thought that cats are intuitive and can sense things such as pregnancies and illnesses. But I don't know whether or not G would actually realize that he's sensing a pregnancy or if he just thinks that after they had sex he's more protective of the pup in general - a similar thing happened the first time he had sex with D just to a lesser extent. So I think the Puppy is the first to realize that something if off with his body and D's the first to point out he hadn't gone into heat in the past month since he's been home.
