Rion is a very sweet cat. When he first showed up at our old house we tried constantly to chase him away. He looked just like our neighbor's cat almost exactly and we already had issues with this neighbor because their dog liked us better than them and they were mad about it. And not only that, he was mean to our cats. We threw rocks at him to try to scare him off (we were careful not to hit him, we just wanted him to go away we didn't want to hurt him) and my dad would shoot his stupid gun in the air (I HATE guns) to try to scare him but he just refused to leave. Finally we discovered he was in fact NOT our neighbors cat, just a poor hungry stray someone had dumped then we felt dreadful for being so mean. That night he got a name and I began the proccess of befriending him (he had been friendly before but with us constantly chasing him off he had become skittish....I know we were awful, but we meant well, really). It took less than a day and I was his best friend again. Ever since then, he has been part of our family. He loves us and the dogs to pieces and we all love him too. Then stupidly we left the poor guy out during Hurricane Wilma and I spent the entire storm wailing because I was so upset about it. Thankfully he was ok. After the storm, while we were surveying damage he was running around our feet so happy to see us. I am not a cat person, but Orion is a very special cat. He loves us so much and is so devoted to us in spite of all our mistakes. I love him dearly and I know I'm lucky he still wants to stay with us even though we screw up so much. I suppose he knows we really do love him and that we don't mean to mess up so much.
