Reddit mentions of Homer's Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned about Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat

Noses, man. And follow the sound of the kibble being poured in the bowl.

Also, close your eyes and move around a little. Carefully, obviously. You will probably be able to feel the different way the air moves when you're near a wall. And the different way the sounds you make come back to you. Now multiply by the acuity of a dog's senses and the fact that he doesn't have to worry about things like what the boss told him he needed to be sure to get done by Monday.

I read a great book about a blind cat, Homer's Odyssey. Caught bugs out of the air he did.

there's a book called "homer's odyssey" that tells the true story about a cat who also has no eyes. it's a wonderful book, you and your mother should check it out.

You guys should read the book Homer's Odyssey about the blind cat who ends up being a complete boss. It's a good story, especially if you like cats.

Read this book. It is extremely informative about the little things that are important to know about having a blind cat. Not to mention how endearing the story is.

Good luck to you. :)

I highly recommend you buy a copy of Homer's Odyssey. It's the most touching book about a cat I've ever read and I think it's a must-read for any cat owner but especially so for owners of blind cats.

She is adorable, kudos for adopting a cat that many people would overlook.

This, wonderful book has a few stories of why you'd want to have (and not put down) a blind cat. One, they're awesome and fearless, since they can't see the danger. Hers mauled a robber that broke in and was standing in her bedroom.

Me too! It really touched my heart. This is a good one too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0385343981/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1394063894&sr=8-1

Respect & kudos to your family for keeping your cat -- way too many people would've never even given him the chance to show he could get along without sight. I hope he has a long, healthy life!

You've probably had it recommended a million times already, but just in case you haven't: if you haven't read Homer’s Odyssey - Fearless Feline Tales of the “Blind Wonder Cat” I very highly recommend it. :)

Oh, and your mention below of yowling -- if your parents haven't already done it, make sure to have a vet check him out & do "senior screening" bloodwork, since the senior "I'm lost" yowl can be an early red flag for something going wrong. Hopefully all is well, but better safe than sorry!

There's a book called "Homer's Odyssey" - a true story written by the author who adopted a blind kitten. Too cute!

I have a cat with special needs and its very rewarding being able to be there for her. Though from what I understand, Bacon and Eggs likely won't need too much help getting around!
