Cats in the Harry Potter World
In the Harry Potter universe, cats and kneazles. Sometimes, there are cat-kneazles, which are cat and kneazle crosses.
A kneazle is a cat-like creature with flecked or spotted fur with outsize ears and a lion-like tail. It is an independent, intelligent, and sometimes aggressive creature, which makes an excellent witch’s or wizard’s pet.
