Homer, the world-renowned Blind Wonder Cat, returns this holiday season with an ins-purr-ational tale filled with holiday cheer! Fifteen years earlier, doctors had warned that Homer - a tiny, sightless kitten - was unlikely to survive and probably wouldn't have much of a life even if he did. Miraculously and against all the odds, Homer grew into a feline dynamo who scaled seven-foot bookcases, saved his human mom's life when he chased a late-night burglar from their apartment, and rose to global fame-paving the way for other special-needs animals once considered "unadoptable".

An adorable five-week-old rescue kitten slowly learns to trust the woman who saved her. An obsessive cat teaches himself to play fetch and demands it morning and night from his hapless mom - whether she's working, sleeping, eating, bathing, or trying to enjoy some "alone time" with her husband. And Homer, the blind wonder cat himself, returns triumphant in a new story about life and love after worldwide fame. 

Das Letzte, was Gwen Cooper wollte, war noch eine Katze. Zwei hatte sie schon, obendrein einen schlecht bezahlten Job und ein frisch gebrochenes Herz. Doch bei dem drei Wochen alten, blinden Kätzchen, das niemand wollte, war es Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Homer wuchs zu einem Teufelskerl mit einem großen Herzen heran. Seine Treue, seine Liebe und seine Freude inspirierten Gwen jeden Tag und veränderten ihr Leben. Als sie den Mann traf, den sie später heiraten würde, wusste sie, dass sie Homer eine wichtige Einsicht verdankte: Liebe sehen wir nicht mit den Augen.

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.
