Spelling: "letting my eyes wander across the many shelves that contained countless books and nik naks (spelling is nicknacks,", "After a moment he walked over to the armchair opposite and, after scooping up the suddenly (suddenly) awoken cat, he collapsed into it.", "to the image of a fierce (fierce) battle raged across the ceramic field of my mug", etc. There are a number of other spelling errors here that should be corrected.

Capitalization issues: "i traced the background hum of the room to a small black cat, purring peacefully on the armchair in front of me.", "It was a room in which you could feel instantly at home, the thick curtains and crackling fire made it feel like i was sheltering from a cold and bitter night, although i knew that outside it was still only early evening.", "i cursed myself for feeling a wave of relief when i looked over to see the goat's face still cast in shadow.", etc.

Capitalization issues cont.: Dialogue tags shouldn't be capitalized unless they are a proper noun or at the start of a sentence. "Suppose I'll have to start packing pretty soon He (he) said", "I believe it was by a french (French) artist, Jean something"

Grammar: It's=it is, its=possession. "The figure standing with the man was not another human, but a goat, standing on it's (its) hind legs", "hooves by it's (its) side, and back straight", " I tried to make out it's (its) face", etc.

Punctuation: "a few more abstract items, an old and rusted train(')s whistle" You also forget to use single or double quotations on a majority of your dialogue. "Suppose I'll have to start packing pretty soon He said", "(")I believe it was by a french artist, Jean something, it's not signed, but my mother knew. He sighed for a moment, his hands suddenley very still on the arm of the chair. The story is that he came here sometime in the 1800's. He was a very traditional artist, he wanted to make a painting of the landscape in order to sell at auction or someplace.(")"

Story issues: I feel like the opening needs some work to establish why the protagonist is interviewing the doctor. It doesn't have to give away the plot of the story, but just jumping into the story without an introduction feels pretty abrupt and doesn't do a good job setting up the story.

Story issues end: As it's unfinished, I'm not going to comment much on the plot, but I am going to strongly suggest proof-reading this as there a couple of dozen errors here that really distract from the story itself.
