Viewers of "A Game of Thrones" will probably recognize the name Arya Stark. I am a 6 1/2- year-old kitty named Arya. I was released to Paws and Claws because of inappropriate behavior toward another cat and toward a young child in my home. I like people a lot, but I get nervous and upset in some situations, and I was returned because I had some inappropriate behaviors. I don't act out of meanness or spite, but out of instinct, fear and self-protection. I may feel overstimulated or startled by sudden movements, noises, or mishandling by someone like a child or even another animal. Or I may feel that I need to protect my territory or my personal boundaries. That's an instinct that animals have, even humans. When they are around animals, young children should always be supervised by an adult. I would do best in a home with adults and with older children only and probably as an only pet. The character Arya on "A Game of Thrones" said it best: "A bruise is a lesson, and each lesson makes us better." Meow. I am a sweet girl who loved being with my people. I am an affectionate, cuddly girl who liked sleeping with my person. I am independent, and I like playing with toys. I had been eating Friskies canned food in my home. I want to be better. I want to be someone's beloved, beautiful Arya. Will you give me a chance to be your girl? Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax
