I too am interested in the similarity of their descriptions; I know 
the idea of them being one-and-the-same has popped up online before, 
but Mundungus and Crookshanks are in the same room at the same time 
(OotP, when Fred and George try to levitate a pot of soup the table 
and spill it, I'm sorry I can't be more specific). 

I've always been curious if Mrs. Figg has cats or *kneazles*, since 
they more or less look the same. Given that Figg had her cats 
keeping watch over Harry, its highly possible she keeps kneazles. I 
know someone suggested that the cat that Mrs. Figg tripped over and 
broke her hip might have been Crookshanks (a half-Kneazle/half-cat 
mix), which would have led to him being stuck in the shop on Diagon 
alley until Hermione bought him.

I have no idea how this might mix in with Mundungus, and won't bring 
up the Animangi reproducing possibility. ;)
