Eventually one rescue kitten became five, and all the ups and downs of a life with cats are lovingly depicted here: From the obsessive cat who teaches himself to play fetch and demands it morning, noon, and night from his hapless human mom; to the crafty white beauty who raises outside-the-litter-box thinking to the level of an art form; to the routine vet trip that turns into a hijinks-filled misadventure on the streets of Manhattan with three (VERY cranky!) felines in tow. And Homer, the Blind Wonder Cat himself, returns triumphant in new tales of life and love after worldwide fame.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSure to be treasured by cat lovers everywhere, \u003ci\u003eMy Life in a Cat House\u003c\/i\u003e will leave you laughing out loud, shedding an occasional tear, and hugging your own cat a little bit closer.
