Toesies Tuesday - The Literary Edition


The other night, I helped my mum with her reading. She liked this book, it was called Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper. Gwen already has two cats when her vet asks her if she would take on a little kitten that she is looking after, who through a bad eye infection had to have both eyes removed.

We enjoyed this book a lot, and we think that if you liked Dewey, you would like this one.

  2. Makes me sad already that his beautiful eyes had to go but as long as he has a forever family to love him and care for him then he has a good life of love.

  6. Oh it sounds like a heartwarming read. The woman won't go for it. She hates pet books--they upset her too much of the pet is any danger!

  20. Teri has heard of this kitty before and will look for the book when she gets to the end of her stack to read already, hahameow. She didn't care for Dewey too much (said some inaccurate vet stuff in it?) but she loved the doggie story, The Art of Racing in the Rain...
