Stubbs (born April 12, 1997) is a cat who was elected mayor of the town of Talkeetna, Alaska in 1997, as a write-in candidate.
As of 2012, Stubbs is still honorary mayor, and has been described as a tourist attraction, having been flooded with cards and letters, and drawing 30 to 40 tourists each day (most of whom are en route to other Alaska destinations such as Mount McKinley)who hope to meet "the mayor". Stubbs' position is honorary as the town is only a "historical district".
