(It seems a stretch that just because Crookshanks ( a half kneazle) had ginger hair that all kneazles do, as Crookshanks is half, it's coloring could be from it's other half)

A '''Kneazle''' is a magical creature, similar to a cat in appearance. They have spotted, speckled or flecked fur, large ears and a lightly plumed tail, like a lion. They make excellent pets or even [[magical familiar]]s if they like a [[Wizards|witch]] or [[Wizards|wizard]]. They are very intelligent, independent and occasionally aggressive, and have an uncanny ability to detect suspicious and distrustful people. They can also safely guide their owner home. Because of their aggressiveness towards certain individuals, Kneazles have a XXX classification by the Ministry of Magic ''if'' they are not interbred with another species.

Ron: "What was that?"
Harry: "It was either a very big cat or quite a small tiger."
— Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter after they both witness Crookshanks for the first time.[src]

A Kneazle is a magical feline creature related to, and similar in appearance to, a cat. They have spotted, speckled or flecked fur, large ears and a lightly plumed tail, like a lion. They are thought to have separate breeds, like cats, and therefore vary in appearance. They make excellent pets if they like a witch or wizard. They have a very high level of intelligence, are independent and occasionally aggressive, and have an uncanny ability to detect suspicious and distrustful people. They can also safely guide their owners home. Because of their aggression towards certain individuals, Kneazles have a XXX classification by the Ministry of Magic if they are not interbred with another species.

Kneazles can interbreed with normal cats, and generally have up to eight kittens in every litter. Kneazle owners are required to have a licence to own the animals. Some wizards and witches make a living by breeding Kneazles or part-Kneazles. Arabella Figg, a Squib, makes her living in this manner, which would explain why she has so many cats.[1] One notable Kneazle hybrid is Hermione Granger's half-Kneazle, Crookshanks.
