It was a fraternity thing in the mid 20th century for members to rotate taking classes for their mascot pet, to accumulate the units necessart order to secure them a degree (not honorary, but potentially fraudulent).

TL;DR: Why are they giving an honorary doctorate to a cat?

A: Because they like him! They really, really like him!
