This cat is laser focused and possibly focusing on a laser. Either way he’s in a trance and there’s no way you’re getting him out of it until he is good and ready.
The title is loosely based on a quote from German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche:
“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.”
– Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146 (1886).
