Tinker
Book Four, Story Three & Five
Tinker, all gray, is a real barn cat at my farm. Tinker was actually the inspiration for this story because he really does run everywhere; he never walks! Tinker was born at my barn to a barn cat that was given to me as a gift when I first moved to my farm. Misty, his mother, was a very scared cat and I could not catch her to have her spayed/fixed like I did the other cats. So, Misty got pregnant and delivered four special kittens…brothers Tattoo, Tinker, Totem, and sister, Tikki. Shortly after the kittens were weaned (they could eat on their own), I was able to catch Misty and have her spayed/fixed so that she would not have any more kittens. Misty and her four kittens are featured in many of the stories in my books. Now, Tinker has his own story!
What Our Readers Say…
We love all of the Adventures at Green Apple Acres books. It is even more special as we had the opportunity to spend time on the farm with the girls in our Girl Scout troop learning about the horses and especially becoming friends with Cynthia. The girls in our troop earned their Girl Scout Silver Award by working on a project on Cynthia’s farm. Our Girl Scout Troop even invited younger girls from the Daisy Troop to the farm to show them how they earned their Silver Award. Loved sharing these books with my nieces, too, as they are also animal lovers. Thank you so much, Cynthia, for writing such wonderful books filled with life lessons.
