Orion “Big Kitty” Thompson

July 3, 2005 – February 15, 2017

Orion came into Aaron’s life as a kitten.  He loved to jump up into his arms to be held upside down, cradled like a baby.  Orion always slept with Aaron under the covers every night, curled up against his legs.

Aaron says that Orion was the, “sweetest cat I ever knew, always wanted to be near humans.  Never hissed once at anyone; he purred right up to the end.  His death, due to cancer, leaves a void that cannot be filled”.
