Dog mauls Stubbs, honorary cat mayor in Alaska
Published September 05, 2013
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The honorary mayor of a tiny Alaska town is noticeably absent this week, when he should be hanging out at the general store or sipping his water-catnip concoctions from a wine glass at the pub next door.
Instead, Stubbs the cat is sedated and under veterinary care after he was badly injured in a vicious dog attack in Talkeetna, a quirky community of 900 that elected him in a write-in campaign 15 years ago. Talkeetna has no human mayor, so you could say 16-year-old Stubbs is the reigning leader -- of the feline sort, anyway.
"He's everybody's guy," said Stubbs' owner, Lauri Stec, who manages Nagley's General Store, where the orangey-beige cat lives and mingles with locals and tourists alike. Saturday's attack by the loose dog left Stubbs with a punctured lung, bruised hips, a long deep gash on his side and a sternum fractured to the point it might need to be repaired with a plate.

Sandy is driving me nuts with her newfound obsession with "froggies."

Cats are freakin' crazy when it comes to stuff like that. My aunt's sits and watches for a stray wild cat outside that comes by a few times a day. Then goes ape**** pawing the window when it shows up. 
Some pics of her tonight when she would have been much rather sitting in front of the window...lol
The interest between our cat and the bro-in-law's dog is not mutual
