Famous Friday is our way to celebrate those brilliant cats you see all over the media. Starting today, and every following Friday, we will kick your weekend off with fun facts about famous cats all over the world! You might recognize these famous felines from television, movies, books, or even your local newspaper.
Today’s Famous Feline is the black cat Homer!
Homer the cat is a real pet cat that saved the life of his owner, Gwen Cooper. Gwen was asleep in her apartment home, when a robber intruded into her bedroom. Luckily, Homer’s loyalty and the love he had for his owner led him to attack the intruder, saving Gwen’s life.
Oh, did we mention that Homer is blind?
Homer is not only an extraordinary cat, but he’s an ideal spokes-cat for special needs cats all over the world. While others pass up special needs cats such as Homer because they are not “perfect”, they miss out on what could be a unique experience with a loyal, loving, and life-changing feline friend. We definitely recommend reading Gwen Cooper’s documentation of the life of Homer, Homer’s Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned about Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat
