Mayor Stubbs of Talkeetna, Alaska celebrates 15 years in office
Lucas Meadows stashed this in Felidae
From the article:
As the story goes, 15 years ago several of the town residents didn't like the candidates who were running for mayor of Talkeetna, so as a joke, they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs the cat as a write-in candidate.
He won.
Mayor Stubbs is one sophisticated cat. He even sips his catnip from a wine glass.
