matched the description of the Kneazle. Soon after, an interviewer 
who had done his homework asked JKR about this, and she said 
(depending on how you interpret her response) that Crookshanks was 
either "part" or "half" Kneazle.

Roxx: 
> Yeah, I can affirm that crookshanks is part kneazle because he 
lives with me over the summer while Hermione is in muggle-land. In 
fact, before reading this quote, I just gave him some catnip.

Me:
I also read that Crookshanks was part Kneazle, and it is at 
www.harrypotterlexicon.com or at least that is where I got the 
information, and what interview it was in. I think he's a great cat 
and Roxx, take good care of him, I think they will be needing him in 
book 6 to see if Trevor is going to turn into someone important too, 
like maybe Harry's Godmother! (Sorry couldn't resist)
