It is also mentioned in the afterword to The Shepherd's Crown that there was an unfinished book in the works featuring Maurice as a ship's cat.PUT YOUR MEMORY SKILLS TO THE TEST to match 20 character pairs from the world of The Amazing Maurice film.
Maurice was last mentioned in The Science of Discworld IV: Judgement Day bonus pamphlet as having been arrested, creating a vacancy for the post of Regional Rodent Security Consultant in Überwald. (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. While the whole story of what awaited Maurice, the rats, and the stupid-looking kid in Überwald is told in The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, it is clear from anecdotal evidence presented in Reaper Man that they have previously tried the rat-piping scam in Ankh-Morpork. He is still allowed to catch rats, as long as they are Keekees: If a rat he has caught can't speak on request, he can eat it. 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. all it took was a clan of intelligent rats and a stupid-looking kid who could play the pipes a bit. The whole idea with the rat-piping was Maurice's brainchild. His human-level intelligence is similar to 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).
