Another fine cat tale! I rather liked it more than the book "Cleo."
A Veterinarian, Patricia Khuly, is brought a kitten who is not well. The owners do not want to keep the kitten as due to disease, the kitten must have both eyes removed and it will be blind.
After a thorough exam, Pat the Vet realizes that despite the eye problem, the kitten is fairly healthy and does not want to euthanize it. While handling the animal, the kitten shows remarkable awareness and affection towards her. Surely someone can see beyond the cat's disability and give it a home. After countless tries, she is finally able to convince her friend, Gwen, to come take a look. Gwen is her last hope.
Gwen imagines that she will simply go in to please her friend and just say no and leave. Some friends remind her that she will come to be known as the cat lady having three cats and being single. She and her boyfriend, Jorge, have just split up besides which she already has two cats. But it is almost love at first sight for Gwen at least. She agrees to take Homer when he gets released from the Vet's.
What a story! Imagine having a kitten that is blind along with two other grown cats in an apartment. Realizing she would need to make some changes to keep the kitten safe, she brings Homer home and watches him and his responses. Homer's other senses more than make up for his loss of sight and she has quite an adventurer on her hands. It bewilders her at the mischief Homer can get into as well as being able to find his food bowl and cat box. Almost all her friends have got to come and meet Homer and end up loving him and his spunk. It astonishes them that Homer can track flies without eyes and catch them easy as pie. He appears to be able to recall distances and where things at located easily.
I simply delighted in this tale. At one point, Homer actually saves his mistress and the story of that was just amazing. But having cats, I know they are extremely intelligent and very loving and protective. This is a wonderful book, but especially for any cat lover.
