It’s the perfect Pied Piper scam, and everything is going great. Until they arrive at the town of Bad Blinitz, that is.

Second, while reading this subtly-amused novel, its readers also gain more information and knowledge on various famous English literary men. For instance, "When Carlyle was presented to the queen, he, being an eccentric and anyway a man totally unschooled in court procedures, suddenly sat down on a chair. All the chamberlains and ladies-in-waiting standing ranged behind the queen began to giggle. Well, not quite. They were about to start giggling when the quen turned around toward them and signaled them also to be seated. Carlyle was thus saved from any embarassment. ..." (p. 443) Or "Sir Francis Bacon observed in his Novum Orgnum that one can only triumph over nature by obeying the laws of nature. ..." (p. 443) And "This stage of the literary figure is already evidenced in England where two of their leading novelists, Henry James and George Meredith, have personailties so strong and so strongly reflected in their novels that very few people care to read them. ..."

Reading the book has been a lot like having a cat as a pet -- occasionally delightful, sometimes insightful, and frequently annoying.Homer’s Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned about Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat has been published in 22 languages in some 32 countries around the world, including the Netherlands ( Wonderkat), Germany ( Homer und Ich), Italy ( Omero Gatto Nero), France ( L'odyssée d'Homère), Russia ( Одиссея Гомера), Finland ( Homer-kissan uskomaton elämä), Poland ( Odyseja kota imieniem Homer), England, Korea, China, and Japan. I am a Cat’ is a little sad and a bit farcical at the same time, kind of like an American television family sitcom if the show was written by doctorate candidates of philosophy, the arts and literature. Written by Japanese author Soseki Narsume in 1904, it is a wordy intellectual essay about family, society, and ideas clothed over by a story of what a nameless cat observes.
