I've been reading this for a while, but now that I had my blind protagonists read going on, I decided to buckle down and finish. And am I glad I did. There's a lot that doesn't directly involve Homer, but the author's life, or events like 9/11 where the author was separated from her cat? They ...

Told in three different points of view, Love Saves the Day though at times heart-breaking and thought provoking did not do much for me in the end.This story is told from three points of view. The first POV is from Sarah a 40 plus year old woman living in the Lower East Side in Manhattan. The second...

Not having gotten enough "cat memoir" out of Cat Daddy: What the World's Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean, I followed it up immediately with this book. As a cat memoir, this book is superior, because Homer and Gwen's other cats (Scarlet and Vashti) take center stage...

What a wonderful book. Thankfully, I was following someone on Facebook who shared the author's blog post from 9/11 a few days ago. I was able to find the book easily.I fell in love with Homer just like everyone else who had the pleasure to know him, as well as Scarlett and Vashti. The book was a ...

If you're an animal lover you'll adore this tale of Homer the Blind Wondercat. He climbs books cases! Catches flies in his mouth in a single bound! Almost put down because no one would take him, Homer's story is touching and amazing. Extra bonus points that, at the time the afterward was written...

Gwen Cooper's "Love Saves the Day" is the story of Prudence, a little brown tabby cat who is rescued in a rain storm by Sarah. When Sarah passes away, Prudence goes to live with Laura (Sarah's daughter) and her husband Josh ... who don't seem to really understand how to live with a cat.Of course, t...

This author has a weird obsession with her version of manliness. It's mentioned a few times throughout the book and it just sticks out as very strange to me (not to mention odd to see in a story about a cat!)

Unlike a lot of animal stories out there, this one was not dry or overdone. It was heart-warming and made me tear up several times. There need to be more stories like this out there.

Do you have to love cats to love this book? Maybe - but it's not just a book about an amazing cat, it's a book about how to live your life with joy, optimism and grace. If a blind kitty can do it, surely a regular ol' human can do it. This is not only a great story, but a well-written, thoughtful...
