Cats are furry . . . and warm . . . and affectionate. It’s hard to do better than a warm, furry, affectionate critter that wants to be around you.
Cats—like diabetes—interrupt what you’re doing to remind you of their existence. This presents a very convenient reminder to test . . . especially at 3:30 in the morning when they pounce on your feet or walk all over your face.
They don’t really care what the hell you do as long as you feed them. They give you that look which says, “Hey. That thing looks bolus-worthy. I’m not going to judge you if you eat it.” Or maybe it’s a look of disapproval. Or ennui. It could definitely be ennui. Cats are an emotional Rorschach test.
With their constant desire for food, cats provide a reminder to eat that food you pre-bolused for.
Cats don’t bark or need baths. They’re pretty self-sufficient.
Cats are easily distracted by empty boxes. Need a diabetes break? Just set out an empty box, and voilà!

Oh yeah, you know I’m totally on board with this!!
Fantastic! I suppose if you were “cat-a-tonic” from a low a cat could lick your face and wake you up too.
I’m a cat guy, too, but haven’t quite convinced the boss (a.k.a. my wife) that cats are perfect pets. I miss having a cat, but have to admit I do NOT miss changing litter boxes or dealing with cat hair all over everything. Meow.
