Feeling uninspired by the list of mayoral candidates, citizens of the Alaskan historic district of Talkeetna launched a write-in campaign in 1997 to elect an orange tabby kitten with a stub tail. For the next 20 years, Stubbs served as the town’s honorary feline mayor and used the town’s general store as a “mayoral office” during his tenure. After drawing a crowd of tourists each day, Stubbs would retire to a nearby restaurant and cap off the afternoon with a wineglass filled with catnip-infused water.
