Maui only begs when he sees his poor, lonely canister of kiki* treats sitting on the counter. Or if he hears crinkling of the lunch meat bag (I never feed him table scraps - my mother does, and I wish she'd stop). Or if he hears a can of something being opened. Then it's all chirps (Maui meow's weird, it sounds like a deranged chirp), purrs and head bumps.

But that poor, lonely canister of kiki treats is what really does him in

*Kiki treats are cat treats, but I have never in my life called them cat treats, always kiki - so that's how Maui knows them, lol
