Homer, the blind cat featured in the true story Homer's Odyssey has passed over to the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 16.  His pet parent Gwen Cooper and writer of the book was by his side.

The book tells the story of Homer and his adventurous nature.  He never let his total blindness stop him doing anything.  I know reading the book made me look at disabled cats a totally different way.

Here's the link to his obituary:

My thoughts are with Gwen Cooper.

I'm sure my moggies at the bridge will make him very welcome and I'm sure he will go equally bonkers having his sight returned to normal.
