It is interesting that both Filch and Mrs. Figg seem
to communicate at some level with their cats -
remember that Mrs. Figg had Tibbles (or whatever his
name was - I can't be bothered trudge up 2 flights of
stairs to look it up) watching Mundungus who was
supposed to be watching Harry, because she suspected
that Mundungus might slope off to do some shady deal
or other. It was the cat who alerted her that Harry
was no longer being guarded. And we all know that
everyone considers Mrs. Norris a spy for Filch.

Adding that to the fact that Mrs. Figg can see the
dementors, and it seems likely that squibs do have a
certain level of magical ability - just not sufficient
to be considered a witch or wizard.
