They don't move when they're being chewed up. Ron should count his
blessings that Crookshanks didn't like him enough to bring him a
semi-dead one as a gift; I've had one irritated but wet and disoreinted
brown recluse spat at my feet by my own adoring feline.

To be on-topic, I always thought this was a deliberate and conscious
thing that Crookshanks did to "get" Ron. I don't think it was on the
level of "he hates spiders, I'll oook him out", but I do think that it
was an intentionally being in-your-face to the person who had been
distressing his human.

either)
