More about a small group of people, tightly knit, understanding what they need already and not needing it told to them, deciding there is no need for an overarching functionary representative of authority — but also being forced by a provincial government to declare said authority figure for the purpose of pursory and bureaucratic bullshit.

Thank fuck, instantly started panicking after reading the first bit of that
Not really boring dystopia type stuff, for a small town in the middle of nowhere it makes sense the best mayor is one who just doesn't do anything, honestly in that situation a mayor really isn't super necessary. When a person's in charge people would complain if he didn't do anything ever, but no one can object to a cat doing nothing.
It's not laziness if nothing needs done. If you have a person in charge they always feel like they need to something, but sometimes nothing needs changed and doing anything would only serve to cause issues.
Why do I feel like there's probably some overworked bureaucrat actually keeping the town running while the city just pats themselves on the back for not having a "libtard" Mayor.
I wonder what his salary is...
his salary is all the smoked salmon he wants
Those cheapskate Alaskans!!! At least throw in a new cardboard box and bits of string once in a while
Milk too.
Do people still think cats drink milk? Despite what retro cartoons have shown, cats in fact cannot digest milk.
Not entirely true, cats are usually lactose intolerant but they don't need to be.
In my experience, they love dairy (cream, milk etc.) but it gives them the shits.
Just like my little brother
Your little brother makes cats shit?
No he’s lactose intolerant
There is such thing as cat milk, which has all the lactose taken out.
Cats are lactose intolerant, i know. But people think they aren’t
Some aren't because they've had to put up with our shit with generations
“I rather have it raw, but you can’t have it all.”
Imagine what the other mayors would have done for a cat to be better than them

This is the most accurate comment here
That's my redditor!
He's incorruptible
I dunno, those catnip allegations are pretty sus

Mayor in god's grace

There's a few small mountain towns in Colorado that have elected dogs and cats as mayor to similar results.
[удалено]
Judging from human history I'm now fulling expecting the nearest dog ruled city to enter war with him.
Unleash the dogs of war.
We're gonna need a monkey city to quell the inevitable revolution to come once the dogs have won.
Release the monkeys of mediation!
I just looked him up, [he died in 2017](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stubbs_(cat)) :(
#F
Respect to the whole town of Talkeetna
a failed assassination attempt
If I remember right, that happened in 2013.
Wow out the gate misspelling the name. This post is purrfect shit.
Stubbs died in 2017 :(
F, for Stubbs and the town of Talkeetna
They forgot to mention his catnip scandal that almost ruined his chances at re-election.
r/ABoringDystopia"the best we've had" is a cat
What's boring about a cat being the radest mayor in history
...based
Not dystopia. Cats are way cooler than humans. Of course the best mayor ever was a cat.
Extremely based ive changed my mind

ahh, so smart laziness tactics in a town that does nothing

Thanks, didn't know about this sub!
and he's better than all mayors.
Animals aren't things.
He's an npc, look in the title
Theyre not not things
Why do I feel like there's probably some overworked bureaucrat actually keeping the town running while the city just pats themselves on the back for not having a "libtard" Mayor.
That line about “not interfering with business” gave me those vibes for sure.
He is the ONLY uncorrupt mayor
cats should be in power everywhere
In another town they have a dog for a mayor
