Obviously, you have never owned a cat. Previous posts have pointed out how 
much easier it is to keep a sick rat, needing rest, in a room than a 
healthy cat. If Ron *knows* his rat is sick, why doesn't he keep it in a 
quiet, dark, secluded space? Why let it be at large? Why drag it around in 
his pocket, bouncing it this way and that? Why doesn't RON create a spell 
that will keep Crookshanks out of the boys' dormitory? "Nope. Not buying 
that one."
