Streeeeeeeeeetch! Orion is named after the star constellation by the same name. If you use your imagination, you can see his white paws are the stars at the shoulders and knees of the constellation--and the stripe up the belly represents his "belt". This little guy's nickname was Wannabe because he wanted to be an inside cat. Now that he is older and getting more independent, my hubby calls him Shouldabeen. Have a good day!
