A yellow tabby cat who also happens to be the Mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, is recovering today after a brutal attack. An as yet unidentified local dog ambushed and mauled the long-time Mayor Saturday while he was making his nightly rounds of the town. Mayor Stubbs suffered serious injuries and had to be placed on a breathing tube.
The brave cat has been successfully governing the town of 800 humans for nearly 16 years. He was first elected as a write-in candidate when he was only a kitten and has continually proven himself more capable than any available humans. Under his rule, the tourist town has thrived as a base for expeditions to Mt. McKinley. Despite Stubb's quirks, such as his insistence on drinking his catnip and water mixture out of a wine glass, the Mayor is considered an effective leader and a positive representative of Talkeetna.
Even though Mayor Stubbs has always enjoyed strong support among the voters, the town is also home to over 800 dogs. After 16 years living under feline rule, slowly simmering tensions in the canine community may finally be coming to a head. This weekend's assassination attempt has come as a shock to the townsfolk, who previously believed that the dogs in Talkeetna all respected the Mayor's authority.
Our thoughts are with Mayor Stubbs as he continues to recover.
