Banjo
Book Two, Story Five
Banjo is an all-black feral cat, very sleek and very shiny. She is a very good mother; she not only nurses her kittens, but also washes them and looks out for them. She has beautiful yellow-green eyes and when she looks at you, you might think you are looking into a “light,” her eyes are that vibrant! Banjo is a name that I liked when I heard it. A friend, Sue Zimmerman, had a cat named Banjo, and I liked that name so much that I named this feral barn cat Banjo, too. Baby Black happens to be black like Banjo, but Banjo also has kitties that are a tortoise calico, with tan and black flecks. Banjo is a feral cat at my barn that I cannot touch. She moves back and forth from barn to woods and woods to barn and comes and goes as she pleases.
What Our Readers Say…

My great niece, Gianna, loves animals and I knew the Adventures at Green Apple Acres book series would be a wonderful Christmas gift for her, so I purchased all three books. Gianna read the stories in all three books and enjoyed all of the adventures of the farm animals. To add to the excitement, I arranged a visit to Cynthia’s farm for Gianna and me. Gianna got to meet Shiloh! Those two bonded like they knew each other forever! We could tell in Gianna’s eyes during our visit that she was on top of the world! Many of the animals at Cynthia’s farm are in the stories of her books. Thank you, Cynthia, for writing these stories. The stories not only give children an opportunity to escape into another world, but also, they teach life lessons. Gianna and I are looking forward to future books and more adventures for the animals on the farm!
