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.

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.
