The correct answers are:

"frequent occasions"

"paltry friendship"

"gossamer fidelity"

Because the narrathor refers to the fragility of the fidelity and the false friendship offered by the man, and that these are frequent occasions. He even give us the reasons to not trust him. And if you are a cat, as Pluto itself, you should be careful with humans around you, because you can't trust them as much as you love them.
