A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Life and Love with a Blind Wonder Cat
Gwen Cooper

I am a dog person -- which is to say I'm not a cat person -- so this book crossed my desk several times before I finally decided to read it. I just couldn't ignore the coincidences: I had a blind dog whose name was Homer and knew how he enriched my life. I am now almost a cat person. And because this book is so well-written, and about so much more than a cat (but I can almost guarantee you'll fall in love with Homer), it will please virtually any reader who has a soft spot for animals.

At only several weeks old, stray kitten Homer contracted a serious eye infection that was so bad by the time he was rescued that his eyes had to be removed. And the last thing that author Gwen Cooper wanted was another cat, let alone an eyeless one. But she took the leap and never looked back. Homer grew into a three-pound dynamo who accomplished amazing physical feats, dare-deviling his way through life and winning virtually every human heart he met along the way.

''Survivor'' doesn't even begin to describe him, nor does ''hero.'' He chased off a middle-of-the-night intruder, arguably saving Cooper's life, and was trapped in her apartment in the days following 9/11 when people weren't allowed back in their homes.

While you'll end up loving Homer, you will also appreciate Cooper's journey as she relates the ways in which she grows and finds more than feline love in her life. It's quite the story. I was smitten by everything about this book.
