A Fearless Feline Tale

October 08, 2010

Gwen Cooper had every intention of saying no to the veterinarian who asked her to adopt a three week old stray kitten with no eyes. She was fresh off a bad breakup, working a low paying job, and living rent free in a friend’s bedroom. She already had two cats, and was afraid another addition would make her the ‘crazy cat lady’ of the neighborhood. However, it was love at first sight, and the kitten was named Homer.

Everyone told Gwen that Homer would be a burden, and would never live a happy life. Homer proved them all wrong by quickly showing everyone that he could live life to the fullest. Through 12 years, six moves, several boyfriends, and a showdown with a burglar, this book reveals Homer’s lessons about love and acceptance – and how his joy for life in the face of all obstacles, inspired Gwen and changed her life.

Check out Homer's Odyssey : A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Love and Life With A Blind Wonder Cat by Gwen Cooper, and learn more about this inspiring story.
