Product Description
Book Description
The inspirational story of a blind wonder cat.
Product Description
The last thing Gwen Cooper wanted was another cat. She already had two, not to mention a phenomenally underpaying job and a recently broken heart. But Homer was no ordinary cat. He was a three week old, abandoned, eyeless kitten and Gwen was unable to resist his charm. It was love at first sight.
Homer, tagged as an 'underachiever' from day one, quickly proved his doubters wrong revealing himself to be a tiny dare devil with a giant heart and a passion for adventure. The kitten they said would never be as independent or as playful as the other cats eagerly made friends with every human who crossed his path, scaled seven foot bookcases with ease and chased off an intruder in the middle of the night. He even survived being trapped alone for days after 9/11 in an apartment near the World Trade Centre.
Homer's Odyssey is the story of one cats unswerving loyalty, his infinite capacity for love, his constant happiness in the face of all obstacles and his ability to inspire and transform Gwen's life. He kept her company through the ups and downs of daily life and by the time she had met the man she would marry Gwen realised Homer had taught her the most valuable lesson of all: love isn't something you see with your eyes.

I first met Homer on Facebook and was captivated by his story, so I bought a copy (had to send to Amazon US for it!) I sat and read and read, and could not put it down. Alternately laughing and crying as I read about this wonderful, and brave cat and his mistress Gwen. This is a MUST read for all cat lovers, and non cat lovers too, as it's message is truly inspiring! Homer did not give up, nor did Gwen, and neither should we! A true lesson in life.
Bless your heart Homer, and thank you Gwen for letting us share you and Homer's heartwarming story! (not to mention your other furry friends too!)

I have just returned from a Christmas/New Year holiday in Los Angeles. Whilst there I bought a copy of this book and was about halfway through when I left to return home. Somewhere between LA and here the book disappeared so have just ordered a replacement from Amazon so that I can finish reading the story. It's a wonderful book and the tenacity with which this little creature deals with his handicap makes you feel very humble. It's also a reminder of how much joy animals bring into our lives. Well worth reading, I can't recommend it highly enough. If someone finds my original copy, I hope it will give them the same pleasure as it did me.
