"Oh, he was-... is, he is a bit on the large side, yes," Hermione replied, knowing that she shouldn't get too hung up on worrying about him when he wasn't around. Just because she couldn't see him didn't mean that Ginny wasn't taking perfectly good care of him, and she'd just have to keep that in mind.
"He isn't an ordinary cat. I'm sure most might say that about their pets, but he really isn't. He's part kneazle, which is a magical feline creature that's frightfully smart. Crookshanks always seems to know more than anyone ever realizes except in hindsight. Of course, he isn't overly friendly and can be a tad lazy, but as I said, older habits are hard to break." The more she talked about him, the more she realized that her cat bore a striking resemblance to Ron in personality, and that may well be why the two of them never really got on.
"He's a bandy-legged ginger, with much more fur than you'd see on most cats. He always seems to look disinterested, but I think he cares a lot more about the people around him than he lets on. He's only ever affectionate with me, and even that's rare. But again, he's a cat. That sort of thing is a given."
