Crookshanks is a she, and I laugh just thinking of Ron's reaction to the news that Crookshanks is pregnant.

Ron was probably more loving towards Crookshanks since he tried to eat Scabbers, which turned out to be a Death Eater, and welcomed him into the new Weasley family. Or, he ran away.

Crookshanks is a HE... when hermione buys him she explains why noone would take HIM. Anyway Crookshanks would have been dead by the epilogue of book seven after all he wasnt a kitten m\when Hermione got him was he? How long do cats live anyway?

but crookshanks was only half cat, so he might live longer. and i had a cat that lived till she was 20, so it is possible he was still alive, but he'd be an old and decrepid cat.

crookshanks was half cat?

and i would imagine crookshanks could stay in gryffendor or in the burrow, or sent away with hermiones parents.

i think snape was too preoccupied with other things than to worry about a cat that the other gryffies could easily take care of.

but you asked my opinion and i gave it.

I could have sworn that Sirius kept referring to that cat as a she in PoA, but the lexicon says Crookshank's is a he. I'll look up the part where Sirius talks about him when I get home.

and why cant it? you dont think the gryffies or house elves would take care of it? it would be meaner to leave the cat in harms way.

oh still... you think a cat would go off to live in hogwarts...i just cant digest this theory...

she possibly might live in burrow...i dont understand.. why would a cat live in hogwarts when its mistress itself isnt there...

anyway leave this...... its just our opinion which differ.. and just bunk it...

Crookshanks is not an ordinary cat. He is intelligent and can live for himself. For all we know, he could have been laying low in the dark forest.

Crookshanks is half kneazle.

Kneazle (NEE-zul)
Spoiler:

XXX

This very intelligent cat-like creature can detect unsavory or suspicious persons very well and will react badly to them. However, if a kneazle takes a liking to a witch or wizard, it makes an excellent pet. The kneazle has spotted fur, large ears, and a lion-like tail (FB). Crookshanks is part kneazle



And it's a HE.

PoA ch 4, pg 60 (US edition, paperback)

"He's gorgeous, isn't he?" said Hermione, glowing.


As smart as he was, he would not have been able to surivive in Gryffindor tower alone. He would still need someone to let him in and out past the portrait so he coud go outisde to use the bathroom or someone to clean his litterbox if he had one. He would also need help in finding food during the cold winter months when foraging would be difficult. He might be smart, but he was also domesticated.
