A [[cats|cat]] who is ''good'' at doing what cats do, ie steering people.
''A miouw here, a purr there, a little gentle pressure with a claw...''Add a human-level intelligence induced by eating somebody he shouldn't ([[Additives]]), whilst foraging in the [[Unreal Estate]], and we have a master scam artist with a vastly expanded repertoire.

His human-level intelligence is similar to [[Gaspode|Gaspode's]] in that he has also gained the ability to speak human, and similarly uses it in order to influence a person (thinking his voice is their conscience) or a crowd (thinking it was another crowd-member talking).

The whole idea with the rat-piping was Maurice's brainchild... all it took was a clan of intelligent [[rats]] and a [[Keith the Piper|stupid-looking kid]] who could play the pipes a bit. With his intelligence he also develops other human-like attributes such as compassion but after a successful conclusion in [[Bad Blintz]] he opts to leave the area.

He is still allowed to catch rats, as long as they are [[Keekee|Keekees]]: If a rat he has caught can't speak on request, he can eat it.

While the whole story of what awaited Maurice, the rats, and the stupid-looking kid in Überwald is told in {{TAM}}, it is clear from anecdotal evidence presented in {{RM}} that they have previously tried the rat-piping scam in Ankh-Morpork.'''(1)''' Maybe this why they moved the operation to Überwald (ie, far from [[Ankh-Morpork]]'s jurisdiction), as this is the sort of thing you only try once with [[Vetinari]]...especially as it seemed to work, and Vetinari was scammed out of a reported $1,000 in gold dollars.
