Send in the Clowns - The Adventures of Maui
Dominique Gizelle wrote this story six years ago, the day after her pet cat and best friend of 14-years passed away.

"This story was inspired by my desire to share the love, joy and fun-filled entertainment I received from my very unique and adventurous pet. This story will appeal to fans of cats, clowns and car chases. The video is a narrated slide slow story including original illustrations and original music." See the Video
