The Bongo Cat is the story of an abandoned cat that lives in the alley behind the Magnolia Cafe. His life is simple and with little drama since he usually finds what he needs in the dumpster behind the cafe. After an exotic bird takes up residence in the big oak tree above his favorite napping place, his life takes on new challenges as well as new possibilities.
The Bongo Cat is a wonderful book for children and adults. If you have children, are a cat lover, or adore Austin, Texas, this is a must-have book. The story is charming, and the illustrations by Laura Jackson are priceless.

Autoren-Porträt von Joyce Murdock Feilke
Author BiographyJoyce Murdock Feilke is a retired school counselor in Austin, Texas, where she has lived most of her adult life. She grew up in North Carolina, near the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and wanted to become a teacher since her earliest childhood days of playing school with her sister, Jean. Joyce earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, and her Master's Degree in Counseling and Psychology from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas.
Joyce's love of storytelling was inspired by her grandmother Bernice Louisa Arthurs Murdock and also by the rich folklore of mountain culture that surrounded her during her college years in North Carolina. She spent many years as a teacher and counselor in high school, both in Texas and also with the Department of Defense Schools in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. However, when Joyce began working with younger children later in her career, she found the perfect audience for her original stories and especially her puppet stories. Now that she has retired, her volunteer work in schools and her young grandchildren continue to inspire her to keep writing and to keep connecting children with imaginative play, since play is a child's work.
"Becoming a grandmother myself connected me to my earliest memories of the comfort and love my grandmother shared through her stories."
The Bongo Cat became a favorite of her original stories and was in such demand by other school professionals that she decided to have it published for the local Austin market. Whether presented in book form or puppetry, the rhyming repetition and visual imagery of her inspiring stories will capture children's hearts while bringing their charming characters to life.
Other stories and rhymes Joyce has composed with local Austin themes that will be published soon are the following:
-Pack Rat and Mr. Bat
-The Hill Country Mouse
-Ballyhoo Blue & Kockle Makes
