I sneaked this [picture of Not Donald](https://www.flickr.com/photos/58334498@N05/33172055336/in/dateposted-public/) out the back door. It’s as close as I can get. ---

I’ve never met a marmalade male tabby who wasn’t a total lovable bastard. Good luck getting rid of the not-Donald. 😉 ---

A feral kitten of about five weeks who was fished out from behind the dryer was dubbed Casey (aka KC aka Kitty Cat) for just that reason. He was developing into a he when that process was interrupted about eight weeks later by a vet. ---

Well, if Not Donald does stick around, he or she probably will be prove to be a ferocious hunter. Kittens who have had to fend for themselves _have_ to be, or they just don’t survive. So if she does temporarily stay with you untill something else comes up, [she might leave a trail of dead and dying critters to your doorstep.](http://theoatmeal.com/comics/cats_actually_kill) In that case, I recommend the [Birds be Safe Collar.](https://www.birdsbesafe.com/) ---

Not Donald is not hanging around as much now that the weather is better. I still cannot get within 30 feet of him. He is no longer emaciated. 🙂 ---
