Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: A Kneazle is a cat-like creature closely enough related to cats that they can interbreed with them. A Kneazle has large ears, spotted fur and a lion-like tail.

Kneazles are considerably more intelligent than the average cat, and have a few knacks, in particular the ability to detect bad or suspicious people (to whom they react badly). They also have the ability to lead their owner home when lost. Despite their occasionally aggressive nature, if domesticated they make good pets. Kneazles must be licensed if they become tamed in the event that a Muggle mistakes it for a cat.
