Homer’s Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat is Gwen Cooper’s bestselling memoir chronicling her life with Homer, an eyeless rescue kitten who defied all expectations. When Cooper, already caring for two cats and facing a broken heart and an underpaying job, is asked to adopt a three-week-old blind kitten, she hesitates—then falls instantly in love.


Despite warnings that Homer would always be an “underachiever,” the kitten quickly proves everyone wrong. Homer grows into a three-pound dynamo with a giant heart: scaling seven-foot bookcases, leaping five feet in the air to catch flies, and making friends with everyone he meets. He survives being trapped alone for days after 9/11 in an apartment near the World Trade Center and even saves Gwen’s life by chasing off an intruder in the middle of the night
