Homer and I send purrs and love to your Homer
Yes on his terms, what a sweet baby Homer sounds like and you want every quality moment you can with him, we know having lost 3 of our old beloved kitties in the last 2 years.... We had success with our old cats getting meds compounded and then we rubbed into their ears, much preferred to pills and potions. He will let you know when it is his time and just love him dearly until then.

I read Homer's story just this year in your book Gwen and I have to say that you have one strong willed, beyond loving, incredible cat. I admire the heck out of this little black ball of fur. My heart and my prayers are with you both. If there is any cat that will fight this tooth and nail, it is Homer. Hugs and love from Lancaster PA.

We Love You Homer and Gwen!
Hang in there little boy and Mom! You guys are so strong, and will get through this. Homer is large and in charge. We all love him, and you very much. I may not have had the honor of meeting you and Homer in the flesh, but your fantastic words have opened my eyes and changed my outlook on life. I fell in love with Homer by reading your words, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your amazing story with all of us strangers. You are both loved so much, respected deeply and always treasured and we are all pulling for you! Bless you.

I love Homer updates. I read the book about him...and, loved the book...he is a miraculous little kitty - and, what's not to love about him? He has a zest for enjoying life...and, I think we all can learn from him. He is lucky to have you for his mommy, and you are lucky to have him for your furbaby...bless you both!!

I'm smiling with tears in my eyes! You are a special human and Homer is a special little furbaby. I work at a vet hospital...wish all pet owners were like you.

Homer is a Champ/fighter!
Thank goodness Homer is such a fighter. He will do all he can to fight his illness and stay your little hero not to mention mentoring those sibs. Will keep him in my prayers and thoughts.

God bless you and be with you Homer!
I am so sorry to hear that Homer is so sick. God bless him and may God be with him and help him in every way! I have read your book about Homer and love it and my 13 year old son has read it several times and we both love Homer though we only know him through the pages of your book. I think my son summed it best when I told him about Homer's condition and that he had held off 3 people at the vets office. How was Homer able to do all that in his condition? My son said "He was able to do that because he's an AWESOME cat that's why!" I hope that Homer feels better soon and that he will be able to get well and have many more healthy happy years ahead of him, because if anyone can do it Homer can!

Hugs to Homer
I had a tough kitty battle liver disease for three years beyond what the vet thought was possible. He never lost his spunk or wonderful personality. Prayers to St Francis that Homer continues to make his own rules and astound one and all

Homer, You are truly a super cat. You know your Mom wants you around longer and you're going to do that for her! Just keep fooling those doctors! You fought hard to live from the very beginning and that fighting spirit is going to keep you going. You are so precious to so many humans and fur people. Now be sure to take your medicine!!!

Loving Gifts
You and Homer have given each other so many gifts. You have given him the gift of a fabulous life, and in turn, he has given you love and stories to fill a book! Thank you for sharing his story with us, and bless you for giving him the opportunity to have a loving ending to a remarkable life. I was so touched by your last sentences--"On his own time, and on his own terms. It is my honor, it is my extraordinary privilege, to be the human he chose." You are such an eloquent writer--what a gift for your readers!
I pray that he recovers and continues his remarkable life, but we know that bodies do grow old and die. May you have peace and joy as he embarks on whatever journey is next. -

Sending Prayers
Oh what a miracle Homer is! After all he's been through to be so strong. He (and you) continue to inspire. I'm praying for him to get over this hurdle and live to be an incredibly old cat.

Be well, Homer
Readers of Homer's Odyssey are all but as invested in that little cat's well-being as you are, Gwen. You wrote him so faithfully that he belongs to us too. We hope for his recovery with you, &, when his time on earth is done, we will grieve with you. He truly lives in our hearts.

Is someone cutting onions? My eyes are watering..
Seriously, you and Homer have brought tears to my eyes. Your strength and his spirit are perfect for each other.
My cat Chronos was in full kidney failure about 5 years ago (he was only 5 years old!) - he wouldnt eat, wouldnt drink, and threw up anything he did get down. The vet did tests on him and said the same thing - they had no idea how a cat with his levels of whatever toxin in his system could still be alive. They hospitalized him for 5 days, put him on IV fluids, and when they gave him back to me I had to give him subcutaneous saline injections twice a day for 2 weeks. It wasn't a choice I made, I just did it, because that cat kept me sane in one of the hardest periods of my life and I loved him. I almost fainted the first time I had to stab him with that needle, but I did it, and I got past my fear. It was christmas time then, too, and we took him with us in the car to visit my dad in Phoenix - a 6 hour car ride which was broken up by one of his necessary fluid injections in a truck stop bathroom. We did the treatments and forcefed him food with a syringe and when we brought him back for his checkup after that 2 weeks, we expected to be told we'd have to do the fluids for the rest of his life. But by some miracle, he was fully cured. He's happy and healthy now, at 10 years old, and I wonder about him every day. So thankful he's still with me.
It sounds like you and Homer have the kind of relationship that could get through this, too. I'm thinking of you, and I'm letting my own kitties know so they can send their love and energy as well.
Brightest of Blessings,
Kelly Ness

How miraculous. Maybe he was blessed with more than 9 lives. Love to all in your home. Hugs across the miles.
