A teen made a website where kittens punch Trump. So, Trump unleashed his lawyers.

Author's note: After publishing this post, it came to our attention that the person behind kittenfeed.com may be a troll. Details about the site's history don't align with the details shared by "Lucy." The site also includes Rick Astley's "Never Going to Give You Up," a notorious trolling meme. Our apologies, and we'll update you as we learn more.

President Trump is busy this week helping to make sure millions of Americans don't lose their health insuran- -- sorry, I mean, shutting down a teenage girl.

17-year-old Lucy from San Francisco recently designed a site called Kittenfeed.com (initially called TrumpScratch), where users get to punch Trump's face with tiny little kitchen paws. It seemed like a pretty harmless, anti-Trump site (the kittens don't even scratch!) -- until she got a letter from the lawyers of a certain "well known businessman," The Observer reports.

That "internationally known" and "famous" businessman (his lawyers words, not mine) is, of course, Donald Trump. In the letter, Trump's general counsel encourages the teen to cease and desist and shut down the website.

After receiving the letter, Lucy decided to change the name of the website to Kittenfeed.com. That wasn't enough for Trump's counsel, who reportedly continued to press the 17-year-old girl. The family is waiting to see their next move.

"It’s so sad that his administration is focused more on being liked, burying real news and taking down sites like mine as they supposedly make him look bad," Lucy told The Observer.

Predictably, Trump's lawyers letter had the opposite effect of their intention. After The Observer published the report yesterday, the site's visitors surged from 3,000 to 50,000. The site has been down periodically throughout today, possibly from so many users trying to access it.

Lesson: you can mess with Trump's lawyers, but don't you ever touch an animated kitten.
