http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/04/us/alaska-cat-mayor-attacked/index.html?hpt=hp_t3(CNN) -- He's a beloved mayor, who's held the top office in Talkeetna, Alaska, for 16 years. So imagine the townfolks' shock when he was attacked.
Mayor Stubbs, a yellow tabby with more responsibility than your average cat, survived -- but is in bad shape.
A punctured lung. A fractured sternum. A 5-inch gash on his side.
Stubbs was strolling about the town Saturday night as he does every night, when an unleashed dog came running across the street and bit into him.
"He had a big gash on his side about 4-5 inches long and once we got him to the vet we found out the gash went down to his organs," said Stec. "Right now is a crucial time cause he's heavily sedated on pain meds. He's in a lot of pain."
Stubbs' medical bills could top $2,000, Stec said.

Because the dog is unleashed while the cat is strolling. I'm just not of fan of politicians of any stripe. Get it? Stripe? The cat has stripes? Hahahahaha. I kill me.
