Wilbur and Wilma are the mascots of the University of Arizona. They are, of course, Wildcats, as are all U of A students. Wibur T. Wildcat (Wilbur The Wildcat) has been top dog, er, I mean cat at the University of Arizona since the 1959. He is also one of the only mascots who is married. Wilbur and Wilma were married November 21, 1986.
