“If you liked Dewey, you’ll love Homer’s Odyssey.”—Library Journal

“This tender and affecting book reveals Homer’s lessons about love and acceptance—and how he transformed Cooper into the woman she had always wanted to be.”—Publisher’s Weekly

Homer’s Odyssey will make you jump for joy!”—Rita Mae Brown author of Santa Clawed

“An inspiring story of two souls, one human and one feline, who face significant obstacles on their quest for love. A charming and sometimes humorous tale of what everyday courage and perseverance can look like. And to anyone who knows cats, it comes as no surprise that it is often the feline who leads the way.”—Susan Richards author of Chosen By a Horse and Chosen Forever

“Gwen Cooper adopts a blind kitten and they have a wonderful life together. The kitten grew into a happy cat who never knew he was handicapped. A wonderful book for animal lovers.”—Temple Grandin, author of Animals Make us Human and Animals in Translation

“I am certain it would be impossible to meet Homer without falling in love with him, and it is just as difficult to read this loving account without coming away with a renewed faith in the unique bond that can sometimes arise between two alien species. Gwen Cooper writes with humor, with wit, with candor and most of all with irresistible warmth for this astonishing little feline who will steal your heart the way he stole hers.” —Jeffrey Moussaief Masson, New York Times bestselling author of The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats and When Elephants Weep

“Homer’s Odyssey eloquently demonstrates that the bond between felines and their humans is requisite for our enlightenment.”—Jim Edgar, author of My Cat Hates You and Bad Cat

“This is a marvelous book! Moving, insightful and often hilarious, Homer’s Odyssey is about a blind cat with a spirit of epic proportions. Homer the Wonder Cat shows us we don’t need eyes to find faith in the face of failure, nor sight to see the blessings all around us. Read and rejoice!”—Sy Montgomery, author of The Good Good Pig and Spell of the Tiger

“Homer’s Odyssey will capture your heart and enrich your soul. Homer’s courageous spirit and triumphant optimism are an inspiration to all who share his story.”—Dr. Louise Murray, Director of Medicine, ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital, and author of Vet Confidential
