"A muggle cat?"Herlucy said guessing.

marfamarfa 04-04-2007 11:17 PM

Torie raised her hand. "I..*achoo* think *achoo* it is a normal *achoo* cat, since I seem to be allergic to it." said Torie amist a flurry of sneezes. She took a handkerchief out of her jumper pocket and blew her nose loudly. "Sorry Professor."

Evy 04-04-2007 11:22 PM

Who cares, Evan thought moodily. The boy stifled a yawn and shifted in his seat. He glared at Caitlin as she spoke; the girl had clearly took a wild guess and had no idea what she was talking about. How lame. He sneered, then raised his hand. "Shouldn't we conduct a few experiments on it to tell if this creature is more intelligent than a normal cat?" Not that he cared about it.

the.time.is.now 04-04-2007 11:25 PM

"You don't need to conduct experiments," Caitlin snorted at Evan, spinning around to face him. "Kneazles are very intelligent. If they really like someone, they'll stick by their side ... however, if they don't, they'll don't react very well at all. They also have large ears, spots on their fur, and tails that can compare to a lions. I said Kneazle because this cat seems to be very taken with our Professor."

She took in a deep breath and glared and him, muttering the word "experiments," sarcastically underneath her breath, amazed at his stupidity.

Zellanna 04-04-2007 11:28 PM

Armand raised a brow at Evan's question, though held his tongue. He made a note to speak to the boy later.

"Physically, you can't define cats and kneazles, they're almost exactly the same, in intellegence factors, the Kneazle has an uncanny ability to detect unsavory people," She explained in reply to Bucky's question.

"Oh dear," Professor Maline mused, "Well i'm sorry Torie, but she's actually a kneazle," She answered and let her go, so she could play with the toys in the middle of the field. She nudged a pile of logs, and around six more kneazle kittens ermerged sleepily.

"Feel free to play with them by the way!" Ophelia smiled, "They need some love and excersize.

"For two points, give me an opinion on what would happen if a muggle had a kneazle for a pet," She then asked the class.

the.time.is.now 04-04-2007 11:33 PM

"Well, personally, I think that a Kneazle would act just the same to a Muggle as to a Wizard. I'm sure that it can detect the suspicious Wizards as well as the Muggles. For all we know, loads of Muggles could own a Kneazle and not even really know ..." Caitlin wandered off into thought. Anything could be possible.

lemondrop13 04-04-2007 11:34 PM

"Well, the Kneazle can be occasionally aggressive, especially around people they do not trust. I suspect that a Kneazle may have difficulty trusting non-magical folk because they don't know what to make of their unusual Muggle ways. By unusual, I mean unusual to them who are probably more accustomed to magical life with wizards and witches. The aggression that they may have can be very dangerous for the Muggle who tries to adopt this animal as a pet."

Nightingale 04-04-2007 11:35 PM

Kay raised her hand tenativly and said, "Um, perhaps they would be shocked at the intelligence of their pet?" She didn't know very much about animals as they made her rather nervous, but she was ready to try and get some points for her house. She sat back towards the edge of the pen and allowed the others to play with the kneazle kittens.

Ama 04-04-2007 11:40 PM

Well, that was embarrassing. Clearing her throat she busied herself with the ends of her hair. She needed a trim badly. Speaking of hair...There he was. That annoyingly handsome Hufflepuff. Focus! Right. Everyone was so clever. How did they do it? Celestina wondered why she even bothered going to lessons. She was horrid at answering question and actually acquiring points for her answers.

Searching her bag for a random piece of parchment she threw casual glances at Evan wondering why in the world of wizards and witches his hair was oh just so pretty.

Pandalicious 04-04-2007 11:41 PM

Jolie raised her hand. "Kneazles are very intelligent animals, and I think it would be able to distinguish the difference between a Muggle owner and a Wizard owner. But I don't think very many Muggle's could tell if their cat was a Kneazle, as they don't know they exist. They would probably just think there cat was very smart, which, I expect, many would want or presume." She said, hoping her guess was sometime close to the truth. Jolie leaned down and patted the kneazle's head. She was so cute, very much like her own cat - although Jolie thought all kittens and kneazles adorable.

shortfry 04-04-2007 11:56 PM

Kerry raised her hand, "I agree that the muggles would not realize if their cats were kneazles, the only difference that they might see is that their cat is unusually attached and seems extremely bright - seeking out the differences between people they trust and enemies and such. I would question more why a kneazle would choose to live with a muggle family who have no knowledge of such hidden abilities... it's almost as though the kneazle has picked something up special about the family to stay with them."

"You're very right Caitlin, right now there are possibly thousands of Kneazles that are just thought of as normal pets. Take a point," She smiled and turned to Kennedy.

"I think you'd also be right, but then each animal is different, and the Kneazle is normally only agressive to those it knows is an 'evil' person." Ophelia nodded, "However, a point for your thoughts," She smiled.

"Take a point, the kneazle would be able to tell, but the owner most likely wouldn't be able to." Professor Maline nodded.

"OK, so you all know about fleas and lice yes? Well Wizarding creatures get them too, but it's got a different name, anyone know it?" She asked.

lemondrop13 04-05-2007 12:02 AM



"Would that be a chizpurfle ma'am?" Kennedy replied.

Seeker_Seven 04-05-2007 12:05 AM

Tag raised his hand. "Chizpurfles infest the fur of crups," he volunteered. This one he knew from first-hand experience. He itched his forearm absentmindedly.

the.time.is.now 04-05-2007 12:06 AM

"No idea," Caitlin said to herself, shaking her head. Fleas were bad enough - who knew that wizard pets had a whole nother set of bugs to deal with?

william.cook1990 04-05-2007 12:09 AM

Sebastian rose his hand. "Is it possible for wood lice to be an irritant to a magical animal?"

D.A Forever 04-05-2007 12:13 AM

Savannah raised her hand, "Umm, lacewinged fly's?" She asked, She didn't remember reading about them bugging animals, but she figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Ama 04-05-2007 12:14 AM

Celestina chuckled at Tag. He would know a thing or two about magical animals.

AuroraRissa 04-05-2007 12:24 AM

"what about a Billywig, Professor Maline? Or maybe a Chizpurfle? They are small as well."
Aurora was hoping she was in the right area

"Two points, thats it exactly, only not only crups, kneazles fall victim to it as well," She smiled.

"To muggle animals, wood lice aren't an irritant, because they're too big. They're easily eaten instead, and the same goes for magical creatures," Professor Maline explained kindly.

"Nope, these flies are far too big to be an irritant, they're food." She smiled.

"Crups were mentioned earlier, and there is one very obvious difference physically between a crup, and a normal muggle dog, what is it?" She asked the class, allowing a few crups and puppies to escape from her class room and play about in the field.

lemondrop13 04-05-2007 12:28 AM

"Crups have a forked tail." Kennedy answered.

shortfry 04-05-2007 12:29 AM

Kerry raised her hands, "The crup looks like a muggle Jack Russel Terrier I believe, except for the fact it has a forked tail"

the.time.is.now 04-05-2007 12:30 AM

Caitlin laughed. she knew this answer easily, because she'd adopted a Crup last term. She raised her hand. "A Crup has a forked tail!"

AuroraRissa 04-05-2007 12:30 AM

" Crups have a forked tail while muggle dogs' tails are usually fluffy. They are loyal to magical folk and can turn mean against muggles."
Aurora hoped she would get one right today.
