A kneazle is a type of magical creature. They are very intelligent and are cat like in appearance. Hermione's cat Crookshanks was actually part kneazle. Originally bred in Britain. They are a small cat-like creature with flecked, speckled or spotted fur, outsize ears and a lion's tail. They are intelligent and makes an excellent pet if it takes a liking to a witch or wizard. They have an uncanny ability to detect unsavoury or suspicious characters, as Crookshanks demonstrated with Scabbers. They will also guide its owner safely home if they are lost. They can interbreed with cats and have litters of up to eight. A licences are required for ownership they are sufficiently unusual in appearance to attract Muggle interest.

A kneazle is a very intelligent cat like animal that can tell when someone is lying.
Not known. There isn't many Animagi in the books, and they become ordinary animals (cat, rat, stag, dog, beetle).
Hermione's fluffy ginger cat, who is actually suggested to be part-Kneazle (a magical creature similar to a cat that is highly intelligent). Crookshanks demonstrates himself to be intelligent in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by distrusting Ron's rat Scabbers (actually the traitor Peter Pettigrew disguised in his Animagus form) and working with Sirius Black (who is innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted). Ron dislikes Crookshanks with a passion, frequently insulting him and accusing him of attacking his rat.
Yes, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban, J.K Rowling introduces Crookshanks, Hermione's ginger cat, into the series.
Crookshanks was Hermione Granger's pet cat. He is half-Kneazle,[1]as evidenced by his lion-like appearance, ability to solve problems on his own without aid or teaching, and clear dislike of and ability at recognising untrustworthy persons (even if they are transfigured).
