You can see the moment when he realizes there's no human servant coming to see he's fine and decides to end the farce and leave the pool by himself.
I actually got a completely different read from this. I think the cat stopped panicking because they didn't realize there were stairs until their paw hit one. We can see the stairs just fine but the cat is at a shallow angle and their eyes work differently than ours.
Edit: I also just noticed a cut in the middle of the video where they seem to be more exhausted and moving slower. That cat might have been there for a bit.
