"I was just re-reading OotP and noticed a nice description (p 22 US) 
of Mundungus Fletcher.

"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?"


DuffyPoo:
Unfortunately, both Mundungus and Crookshanks were in the kitchen at dinnertime the first day HP arrives at 12 Grimmauld Place. Fred, George and Mundungus are laughing over a story Dung told about stolen toads, and Ginny was playing with Crookshanks with Butterbeer corks on the floor.
