"originally from Britain, a small catlike animal that is now a worldwide export. Its fur is spotted or flecked, its ears large, and its tail resembles a lion's. They can breed with cats. They are characterized by intelligence, independence, occasional aggression, and are capable of being wonderful pets if they like a wizard or witch. Kneazles can detect suspicious people very well and react badly to them."
