Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper
5.0
Someone forgot to tell Homer he is blind!
Most importantly: ATTENTION CAT LOVERS: a “spoiler” that needs sharing: THIS IS OKAY TO READ! YOU WILL NOT FALL APART AT THE END! There is a hiccup in the second to last chapter but it works out okay. This hiccup threw me for a loop – because several readers had told me it was okay to read and I would not break into sobs at the end. I actually paused the audio and refused to listen again until I could do something I never (well, now I can only say, rarely) do: scan the final pages of the print book! The relief I felt when I learned I had not been steered wrong was tremendous.
This touching memoir is filled with tales of survival, love, and pure kitty antics. It is a book any cat lover will treasure and enjoy – and find themselves nodding along at various points. We know our cats are special and their personalities are just as a human’s are: unique, varied, and, well, moody. Homer is a pure testament to the fact that living with disabilities is possible and “normal” is in the eye of … no one!
I’m so glad I finally read this one that has been on my TBR for way, way too long.
