So you got it fixed, and didn't have to pay a fortune. That's great.
Does it play any differently?
Did you notice any intonation issues or response changes that could be blamed on the dent or its removal?

The cat might have been a door?

Oh ya, the cat thinks he's a door

All the more reason why I won't get near the toxoplasmosis-infested critters in the first place.

The repairman is giving it for free because he could not get the entire dent out and said the lacquer is starting to peel :(.

I will just find a repair man whereever I do my masters to take the horn apart and fix his error, at least I tried.
You must be terribly unlucky. Cats dent your tuba and repairmen make errors. What have you done to deserve this?
