But he also recognizes and disapproves of cheating, judging by the way he stared at Harry and Ron when they were making up answers on their Divination homework GF Crookshanks sometimes catches and slowly eats spiders PA8.
He loves to chase gnomes in the Weasley garden GF5 and, if given a chance, will gleefully chase all the pieces off a chessboard OP Crookshanks is first introduced when he jumps onto Ron's head at Magical Menagerie. From the surname Cruikshank, which means "crooked legs" Metzler Quite appropriate considering the cat's bandy legs.

When I was working in London in the late s I used to eat my lunch in a nearby square on sunny days and a large, fluffy ginger cat that looked as though it had run face-first into a wall used to prowl around the sunbathers there; I assume it lived in a nearby house.
I didn't ever get close enough to give myself an asthma attack, but I became distantly fond of this cat, which prowled among the humans around it looking disdainful and refusing to be stroked. Ginny names the owl Pigwidgeon.
Crookshanks is at the Burrow with Hermione. We see him chasing gnomes in the garden before dinner. When Fred Weasley drops some fireworks as the family prepares to depart for London and the Hogwarts Express, Crookshanks is frightened and mauls a Muggle taxi-driver. He rides in the same taxi as Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and all three get rather badly scratched.
On the Express, and throughout the book, Crookshanks is an occasional presence, curled up on a chair, jumping into either Harry's or Hermione's lap, and generally behaving as a cat should. Crookshanks seems to be quite willing to soak up almost any amount of affection from either Harry or Hermione, and sometimes Ginny , but does not seem to entirely trust Ron.
At Number 12, Grimmauld Place , we see Crookshanks in the kitchen, playing with Butterbeer corks, and generally acting like a cat. Throughout the book, Crookshanks is an occasional presence, curled up on a chair, jumping into either Harry's or Hermione's lap, and generally behaving as a cat should. Once again, Crookshanks seems to be acting like a cat, and having only a passing role in the story.
We see Crookshanks at Hermione's feet when she, Ron, and Harry manage to sneak some time together in amidst the wedding preparations at The Burrow. Crookshanks, here, is behaving very much like a cat, simply lying, curled up, at Hermione's feet while she sorts books. When Mrs. Weasley bursts in on them, Crookshanks, bristling, dashes under the bed to hide. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione need to enter the tunnel at the base of the Whomping Willow, Ron wishes that they had Crookshanks with them to push the knot that will still the tree.
In words strongly reminiscent of something Ron had said in the first book, Hermione says, " Are you a wizard, or what? Events in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban show that Crookshanks is far more intelligent than the average cat. We don't initially notice this, as all wizard's companion animals, including Hedwig , Trevor , Scabbers, and later Pigwidgeon, seem much more intelligent than their Muggle equivalents. While Scabbers' intelligence is explained when his true nature is revealed, Crookshanks' intelligence can only be inferred to be the product of his being a cross-breed with a Kneazle.
Being half-cat, Crookshanks is always armed, and is clearly not afraid to use his claws and teeth when he feels the need.
