It was a cat called "Stubbs." Like my avatar on FT, he was a ginger.
Stubbs (April 12, 1997 – July 21, 2017) was a cat who was the honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, from July 18, 1997, until his death in 2017.

Stubbs was described as a tourist attraction, having been flooded with cards and letters, and drawing 30 to 40 tourists each day (most of whom were en route to other Alaska destinations, such as Denali) who hoped to meet "the mayor". His position was honorary, as the town is only a historic district.

Every afternoon, Stubbs went to a nearby restaurant and drank water mixed with catnip out of a wine glass or a margarita glass.

Stubbs died in 2017 at the age of 20.
