Alaska feline mayor Stubbs the cat suffers dog attack

Stubbs the cat was elected mayor of Talkeetna 15 years ago
A cat which was elected mayor of an Alaskan town 15 years ago has been badly injured in a dog attack.

Stubbs the cat, mayor of Talkeetna - which has no human mayor - is receiving veterinary care.

The cat, aged 16, was elected in a write-in campaign 15 years ago.

In the wake of Saturday's attack, Stubbs has been left with a punctured lung, bruised hips, a long deep gash on his side and a fractured sternum, the AP news agency reports.

Talkeetna, 115 miles (185km) north of the state's main city, Anchorage, is dotted with artist shops and is said to be the inspiration for the US TV series Northern Exposure.

never knew Tuner had a Cat Lovers thread...excellent!

I've been rescuing and re-homing dogs, puppies, cats and kittens for almost 30yrs now and hope that ppl realise...esp' those that dislike cats that if they spay/neuter the ones that they CAN catch...the less they'll reproduce...and also keep in mind that Cats= NO RATS/SNAKES...so kill the cats and you'll just be welcoming the rats back into your neighbourhood.

I've used the TTSPCA's trap, to catch many cats, even manicou, that get in trouble...so do your neighbourhood a favour and help keep the stray population down by neutering and spaying. You'll be helpin the situation, rather than complaining about it.

no stray cats = rat infestation. never one day saw a rat run in my yard when those stray cats were around

read somewhere that the kittens can't drink cow's milk because of the lactose and they will eventually die of it. you have to buy special milk to nurse kittens if there isn't a nursing cat.

correct, goat's milk, Nestum, and Puppylac can be used for kittens as young as a few days old. When they are that young it's VERY difficult to save them as the mother's natural antibodies that travel in her milk would be sorely missed by the kittens...so we tend to use Similac, Nestum, and sometimes a little egg yolk...using a syringe...and then at about 7days old, we start giving them oral Antibiotics...Amoxycilin, or Fortrim...depending on condition or state of digestive health...you see, when they go on these products..they can get constipated and pick up an infection in their intestines....that's when you have to wipe them with a warm rag, sometimes giving them an enema...to flush their bowels.

hi all. I found a kitten today and looking for a home for him. He can't feed himself and I really can't take care of a kitten needing that much attention. If you or anyone you know can please message me.

redgyal, where you from? I have someone looking for a kitten...

All's well and good...
But when yuh have neighbours like mine, who don't give a damn, have about 23 cats
running around the damn place, in & and their house...what do u expect em 2 do by me
when they jump across....is cat sheet all over, many instances of getting through windows
(when left open), stealing, d humans themselves where they originated from can't even spay themselves...
TTSPCA sounds like a nice option, will get a number to contact em and see how they can assist,
I really damn fed up...!!!

then train them properly. our cat does not steal or jump on table /cupboard or anything...
he knows where his food & water dish is an knows what to do when it empty.

don't blame the cat if u didn't take the time to train it.
