It celebrates the refusal to accept limits-on love, ability, or hope against overwhelming odds. Homer’s Odyssey is the once-in-a-lifetime story of an extraordinary cat and his human companion. And by the time she met the man she would marry, she realized Homer had taught her the most important lesson of all: Love isn’t something you see with your eyes. He survived being trapped alone for days after 9/11 in an apartment near the World Trade Center, and even saved Gwen’s life when he chased off an intruder who broke into their home in the middle of the night.īut it was Homer’s unswerving loyalty, his infinite capacity for love, and his joy in the face of all obstacles that inspired Gwen daily and transformed her life. Homer scaled seven-foot bookcases with ease and lept five feet into the air to catch flies in mid-buzz. But the kitten nobody believed in quickly grew into a three-pound dynamo, a tiny daredevil with a giant heart who eagerly made friends with every human who crossed his path. It was love at first sight.Įveryone warned that Homer would always be an 'underachiever,' never as playful or independent as other cats. Then Gwen’s veterinarian called with a story about a three-week-old eyeless kitten who’d been abandoned. She already had two, not to mention a phenomenally underpaying job and a recently broken heart. The last thing Gwen Cooper wanted was another cat. Once in nine lives, something extraordinary happens.
