Once the cat realises the threat has gone, it emerges from its hiding place. It is currently on the second floor, probably having stealthily moved back once the gazer left.
With a dc12 insight check, you can deduce based on the mewing of the gazer, the thing it was searching for was the cat. Just the cat was a much better hider than the gazer was seeker.
Is the cat wearing a collar, or is there any other obvious sign of what the gazer wanted the cat for? Did the cat emerge from a hole we saw, or something that might contain treasure?
The cat has a collar. It's nothing special but does confirm the cat belongs to Uza. Nothing special about the hiding place either. The cat does look quite plump but otherwise a standard cat.
Kylaski comments, "We may never know why the gazer was looking so intently for that cat. It might have been for a snack, or something else. If for a snack, why so persistent? Maybe the cat intruded somewhere the gazer was protecting and it chased after the cat. I doubt the cat knows even if we could talk to it."
Xaul will know (from having one as a familiar) thay gazers are not very intelligent (int score of 3). So it's highly plausible that a hungry gazer gets a bit hangry and fixates on a specific snack. And the more it eluded them, the angrier (and more determined) they got.
Equally it's plausible that the cat is really a druid in wildshape and the gazer caught them smuggling something from the Xanathar (seeing as the last time you met a gazer that wasn't Barnacle, it was guarding a gazer sewer).
Based on options I've seen discussed, you may make theories but you will not have a concrete answer. But at the end of the day, you have held up your end of the bargain for Mirt.
Skye snaps her fingers and sparks flicker between them and crackle down her arm. Her hair stands on edge, and her eyes are wide.
“That … that was something.”
Kylaski shakes her head, "No, not unless it's a talking cat. Floating eyes are usually smarter."

Kylaski starts looking around for a kitty...
Damros calls forth his Unseen Servant
and commands it to start picking up things and placing them back on shelves or counter tops.
"An hour of picking up is halved with help..."
