Unfortunately.. I had to euthanize my poor kitty because he had diabetes and then a brain aneurysm... I treated his diabetes for over 3 years.. an insulin injection two times a day.. Animals with diabetes(if medicated with insulin) can live a long time)

Definitely yes, with our more domesticated pets anyway. Very common in cats and quite common in dogs. And often for the same reasons as humans get type 2 diabetes, inappropriate diet and insufficient exercise. Of course, it can be hereditary too.

Yes, I have known both dogs and cats to suffer from diabetes.

Yes both dogs and cats can suffer from diabetes. It is easily treatable with insulin injections, and diet restrictions.

Absolutely.
My wife is a veterinarian, and over the years we've "inherited" a couple of diabetic cats whose owners wanted to put them down because they couldn't be bothered. Daily insulin shots kept them alive and well for years.
