Cat

A Cat is a domesticated creature who is used in both the Wizarding and Muggle worlds as a pet.

Cats are kept as pets and are the Magical familiars of wizards. First year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are allowed to bring, among other animals, a cat as a magical familiar.

Cats are also able to interbreed with Kneazles, and generally have up to eight kittens in every litter.

Some wizards and witches make a living by breeding Kneazles or part-Kneazles. Arabella Figg, a Squib, makes her living in this manner.

Cats are producable as a patronus.

There are also Animagi wizards and witches. These Animagi can transform in a cat, or a other animal.
