"He had short bandy legs, long straggly ginger hair..."
Sounds surprisingly like Crookshanks the cat. On p 60 of PoA
Crookshanks is described "the cat's ginger fur was thick and fluffy,
but it was definitely a bit bowlegged and its face looked grumpy..."
Crookshanks is also often referred to as having "bandy legs."
When we meet Mundungus, we find that he has been watching Harry and
keeping in close contact with Mrs. Figg...a notorious cat lover.
Jo Rowling doesn't throw these eerily similar descriptions and clues
out for no reason. Could it be that Mundungus is an animagus whose
form happens to be Crookshanks.<<<

JKR has said that Crookshanks is a kneazel. See FAQs for more info.
Dung and Crookshanks appear in the same scene at Grimauld Place at 
some point.
And how creepy would it be for Dung to be hanging out in a girls 
dormitory, sleeping in Hermione's bed? YUK!!!<<<

Inge:
He he he .... yea, how creepy would that be for old Fletcher?
Plus - wouldn't Hermione wonder where Crookshanks were if he were to 
disappear all summer to go wathcing Harry?
