[HPforGrownups] Is Crookshanks just a cat? Hmmmm...

No: HPFGUIDX 60065


Melissa:
Can a female tranform into a male?  This isn't like a polyjuice potion where 
all you need is a bit of who you want to be, male or female.  If, as in the 
case of wands, the animal chooses the person what does that say about Mrs Figg?  
We haven't seen a  case of cross gender transformation yet. 

Melissa < who tends to think that Crookshanks is part kneazle>

Me:
He is part-kneazle. It's been said a few times, and I just dug up the interview for reference. It's from the BBC Newsround interview on April 27, 2001:

Lizo: ...I was particularly interested in the bit about the Kneazle, is 
Crookshanks possibly... uh, have any Kneazle...?

JKR: Yes, part-Kneazle yes, he is, yes, well-spotted.
