Mascot.

Everyone needs a mascot, right?  If you look around the DOC, you'll find a consensus - that felines rule.  You can find the evidence in places like here, here, and here. 

Cats seem to be a ubiquitous mascot for our diabetes community - but I can't quite agree with that.  For one, I'm allergic to cats, so it's hard to jump on board with that (without sneezing).  But the bigger reason for me is that dogs are just freaking adorable.  Case in point - this picture cracks me up every time.  I dare you to not laugh...
