So we all know the Potters had a cat, right? <\/p>\n

All we have per descriptions of this cat is that 1. It was enough of a Potter to make the list when they went into hiding and 2. Harry scared it with his new broom he got from Sirius. <\/p>\n

There is further no mention of said cat. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, don\u2019t we know another, really old, beaten down, ugly, sad, sad cat? <\/p>\n

A cat that befriended Sirius Black and seemed to KNOW Peter Pettigrew\u2019s smell, hold a grudge against him, even? <\/p>\n

Part-kneazle, so it has a remarkable ability for finding things that are shiny and that it has a connection to, like, say, a family member. <\/p>\n

A cat that knows it\u2019s way around Hogwarts, around the Whomping Willow, almost like it had been there before with another owner.<\/p>\n

A cat that absolutely REFUSED to let Hermione leave that shop without him after seeing a certain rat, was CRAZED, almost. <\/p>\n

We have no mention of this cat\/kneazle\u2019s age, except that it had been in the shop for a while and no one had wanted it. Magical creatures live a long time. Cats live a long time. It\u2019s within reason that this cat could be 30, even 40 years old.<\/p>\n

It makes too much sense.<\/p>\n

The Potter cat is Crookshanks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is by far one of my favorite HP headcanon and no one can convince me that this isn\u2019t real.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
