Could it be that Mundungus is an animagus whose
form happens to be Crookshanks.<<<

theory that used to exist.
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?

mhbobbin:
I should have written that it'd be creepy for Hermione and friends 
but not for Dung. Double-YUK.

I just want to add that Crookshanks NOT being an animagus was a 
disappointment for me. The way that Crookshanks had been hanging out 
in the Magical Pet shop, as though he was waiting for Scabbers to be 
seen by the Vet--and then permitting Hermione to adopt him when he 
had rejected other pet owners===I really wanted Crookshanks' story 
to be really interesting==like he was undercover law enforcement.

 I'm not hopeful that Crookshanks will play much role in the final 
two books as the Makers of That=Which=Must=Not=Be=Mentioned, didn't 
even include his magical powers and downsized his critical role. 
And  JKR permitted it.

I worry that Books 6 and 7 are going to disappoint some of us. And 
at the same time I want JKR to get a move on.
