I am on page 115 of this story and it has had me cracking up laughing so hard. I think my favorite passage in this book is when she is talking about Homer as a kitten and he climbs the drapes and she caught him doing it. It is hilarious.
"His new obsession was scaling the floor-to-ceiling drapes that hung in the dining room, like one of those Spider-man types you read about who hand-over-hand their way up the side of an office building. "Homer" I would shriek when I found him hanging on the drapes by a single claw six feet in the air. Homer would swing the slight weight of his nine or ten ounces around until all four claws clung to the drapes once again, climbing as quickly as he could to put himself above my reach. Look Ma! I always imagined him thinking. No Eyes!"

Just finished this story and it is one of the cutest and funniest books that I have ever read. I loved it. It took me two days to read it. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to read about cats.

I also recently finished reading Homer's Odyssey. It's a great read for cat lovers and really did change my thinking about "disabled" cats and reinforced my feelings on adopting rescue animals.
I found this memoir funny and entertaining, but also quite moving (particularly the piece where Gwen is trying to get back to rescue her cats who are trapped in her apartment following the 911 attacks and the piece in the beginning about meeting Homer for the first time).
Any cat-mom, or cat-dad could relate to this story, particularly those of us with rescue cats. It's a great read all around and leaves you with a nice feeling at the end.

| I just finished this on Kindle and am rereading it, it's one of the most uplifting books I've ever read. I can't say enough about it. I'm actually recommending it to all my friends. It's like a cup of cocoa sipped by the fireplace on a cold winter night!
