Donald Trump's Lawyers Take Aim at High Schooler Who Created Kitten-Scratching Website

Kitty likes to scratch.

We established last week that U.S. President Donald Trump has more to worry about than petty feuds…

… and that was before F.B.I. director James Comey revealed the White House is under investigation for potential ties with Russia.

Turns out the President’s lawyers can multitask, because a 17-year-old has reportedly received a cease and desist letter from his legal team over a satirical website called 'kittenfeed.com'.

The site allows users to activate virtual cat paws and swipe at pictures of Trump’s head. The teen in question, Lucy (who has not shared her full name), designed the site in high school to help her get a development job after graduation.

Since launching in February under the name TrumpPunch.com, the site has attracted approximately 1,200 visitors. Apparently someone at the White House was among that 1,200.

Lucy, informed The Observer of the legal warning. They have confirmed the veracity of the letter.

"I really just want people to be aware that this is a president who's clearly more concerned about what people think of him than doing things of substance," she later told the Hollywood Reporter.

She changed the name of the site to kittenfeed.com to appease Trump's lawyers, but apparently that was not enough. She and her lawyers are yet to respond to Trump counsel, and are waiting to see what happens.

We wonder what the visitor numbers for kittenfeed.com stands at today. That address, once more, is kittenfeed.com.
