Crookshanks

I've been lurking for quite sometime, just trying to catch up on
my post reading... and I have accepted the fact that it is futile, so 
I will just jump in with both feet.

Has there been any speculation that Hermione's cat Crookshanks is 
perhaps a secret Animungus? I put forth this idea in a conversational 
group, and was resoundly dismissed.

But as I was re-reading the OoP, there were a couple of times when I 
wonder why JKR made Crookshanks the focus of a scene (i.e. 
Crookshanks notices the "I will not tell lies" scar) and
Crookshanks was also the one who outed Wormtail PoA.  

In the HpaSS when Hermione first purchased Crookshanks she made 
mention that the shop keeper said that Crookshanks had been 
there "for ages" and the cat is described in such away one
would think that he is much older...hmmm.

I was also wondering why Crookshanks hasn't had major drama with 
Ms.Norris?

I am sure that all of this has been bantied about before, and if that 
is the case could some of the more senior members perhaps direct me 
to the releveant post.
