Trivia: Which U.S. town elected a cat as mayor?
Sunol, California
Talkeetna, Alaska
Lajitas, Texas
Fair Haven, Vermont
The correct answer is Talkeetna, Alaska
So why is this answer correct? : Mayor Stubbs (named so for his missing tail) served as the feline mayor of Talkeetna for almost two decades before he passed in 2017 at age 20. In 1997, the town elected the orange kitten through a write-in campaign after no human candidates were elected to office. Also the home of the Moose Dropping Festival, the quirky town of Talkeetna was the inspiration for the town in the TV show “Northern Exposure.”
