Acerca de esta escucha

Once in nine lives,something extraordinary happens...

The last thing Gwen Cooper wanted was another cat. She already had two, not to mention a phenomenally underpaying job and a recently broken heart. Then Gwen’s veterinarian called with a story about a three-week-old eyeless kitten who’d been abandoned. It was love at first sight.

Everyone warned that Homer would always be an “underachiever,” never as playful or independent as other cats. 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. Homer scaled seven-foot bookcases with ease and leapt five feet into the air to catch flies in mid-buzz. 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. But 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. 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.

Homer’s Odyssey is the once-in-a-lifetime story of an extraordinary cat and his human companion. It celebrates the refusal to accept limits—on love, ability, or hope against overwhelming odds. By turns jubilant and moving, it’s a memoir for anybody who’s ever fallen completely and helplessly in love with a pet.

I would never think that a blind cat would be so brave but when I think of it it makes sense he or she would not be able to see all the thing’s that scares people or other animals and poor Scarlett she is so misunderstood she just didn’t like people

I would recommend this book for dog or bird lovers( my cousin Scarlett recommend this book to me)

It is good ❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️

I LOVE THIS SORRY SO MUCH

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I’ve been reading Christian and biblical books and decided to take a little break and since I have 2 cats thought this would be interesting. This was absolutely delightful to listen to. She truly made the personality of each cat come alive. I listed almost straight thru in one night. The part about 9/11 and the twin towers and distressing about her beloved pets. When she took Homer to vet thinking this was it I started crying and then quite relieved when all was okay. Loved every minute of this story, and if you’re an animal lover you will not be disappointed. Almost wish there was a sequel.

The personality of cats, the unstoppable nature of her blind cat

Wow! I once had a friend in high school who had a blind cat and I was amazed at how well he got around. This made me want to pick this book up, and I'm so glad I did!
It's happy and sad, funny and scary, and so heartwarming. I cried like a baby when the author re-lived the trauma of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the fear she would never see her 3 cats again, and cheered when Homer fought off an intruder. The little blind wonder cat that wasn't supposed to grow up not only survived, but lived!
The narrator, the great Renee Raudman is one of my favorites, in fact, my spell checker recognizes 'Raudman' as a word because I constantly sing her praises! As usual, she is amazing!
I highly recommend this book! Happy listening!

Incredible!

I loved the story from the start. Gwen is such a sweetheart. In her mid-twenties, she works hard for a non-profit which did not pay much. She had two cats already, but when she got a call from her veterinarian asking her to adopt a little black blind kitten, she went to see him and fell in love. She realized that she was his only hope is nobody else was willing to take him. So she adopted him, and he became the most incredible blessing in her life. He did not know he was blind, found his way around her apartment, and acted like a regular cat, a very smart cat who could catch flies in the air, taught himself to use the regular toilet, and saved Gwen’s life from an intruder. There is much more that happens, but that gives you an idea.

A Fun Read
