Manages to leave fun and games to Kitty (4)
I believe the answer is:
fund
'kitty' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'manages to leave fun and games' is the wordplay.
'to leave' suggests deleting specific letters.
'fun'+'and'+'games'='funandgames'
'funandgames' with 'manages' taken away is 'FUND'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for fund that I've seen before include "Stock, resources" , "Reserve of money set aside for a purpose" , "Pool - float" , "Supply cash" , "Cash reserve" .)
