GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct choice to fill in the blank is "he."

The sentence would read: "Neither Floyd the dog nor Madison’s three cats enjoy sleeping on the hard, cold floor when he can jump onto the soft, warm bed as soon as she leaves for work."

In this context, "neither/nor" construction implies that we consider the subject as singular (Floyd the dog), which is why "he" is the appropriate pronoun to use.
