She *is* a cat when transformed :)

And Neville *is* a canary when transformed. Without any indication
that she transformed "at will" without use of wand or potion or magic
device this is not proof she is a cat animagus. Note also the
mysterious owl that arrives at Privet Drive shortly before the cat
first makes an appearance (large owls do not "flutter" unless landing
or taking off).

But we know that, at this point, she is not a *registered* cat
animagus. If she were registered, she would *expect* Dumbledore to
know her by her (very distinctive) markings. But she does not expect
this. She clearly thinks of her cat form as a disguise that might
fool Dumbledore -- head of the secret order of which she is a
supposedly loyal member. This cannot be a registered animagus form.

She is already sixty. She must be registered by now (or else she'll
be in deep trouble when she does register). Since she is not
registered as a cat, she must be registered as something else.
