		It is paramount to a feral’s progress that the original voice that they became familiar with continues to talk to them, reassuring them that they are safe.
		From March 2006 through December 2006 we treated over 2000 animals… all were spayed/neutered, most dogs heartworm treated, some reunited with their owners and others rehomed in loving laps of people all over this continent.
		ARNO has an ongoing need for foster homes to provide animals a safe and loving environment until transport, reunion and adoption arrangements can be made.

		Sometimes, familiars are imps, zombies or demons, or some sort of spirit that takes the form of an animal, but usually it is an animal that has bonded with an individual, that has been karmically attracted to that person and volunteered to work with them as a familiar.
		Familiars usually stay with their companion until death, or they are unsummoned, and then they disappear.
		This relationship is not as strong as that of a familiar, and certain things cannot be done because there is not the psychic/magical link between the animal/beast and the person, but there is still helpful tasks and an "understanding" that takes place between the companion and animal.

	Rules of the Game: Familiars (Part Three)
		Likewise, a ranger with animals as a favored enemy would not gain favored enemy bonuses when dealing with the familiar (but a ranger with magical beasts as a favored enemy would).
		All familiars are as smart as people (the minimum Intelligence score for a familiar is 6), but usually not as smart as a particularly bright person.
		Animal familiars, especially if they have Intelligence scores of 9 or less, are apt to be distracted by things that are important to animals, such as food, other animals, and big, dangerous creatures lurking nearby (and remember that when you're Tiny, just about everyone else seems really big).

	animals and kids
		Originally, the girl's mother did not want the animals in the house, but father and neighbor's child overrode Mom's authority and a guinea pig was bought and a second one given to her a week later.
		I hated seeing the lines of animals coming in and the reason for giving up was often "The kid lost interest." I hated the fall, as all the pets bought over the summer would be dumped because the kids were in school and the parents unwilling to care for the animal.
		But if the familiar will ultimately not be able to life a good and proper life, maybe it is truly not meant to be the child's familiar at that time and child's unconscious desires (how many little girls want a pony) are clouding and affecting the search.

	Find Familiar, A Better And More Playable Version
		Familiars will certainly NOT be able to perform most skills their masters can even with such knowledge - unless they have this as a special power as some special familiars may come with on their own.
		The familiar of an actual wizard may have personal spells cast upon them by their master - just as their master may only cast personal spells on themselves, they may be allowed to cast such personal spells on their familiar, as well.
		The familiar has no idea where their master is, but the master has a vague sense of which direction their familiar is, but not how far away it is. If separated by one or more planes of existence, simply treat this as further than one-mile/level of the master apart.

	The Witch's Familiar and the Fairy in Early Modern England and Scotland Folklore - Find Articles
		It illustrates some of the similarities to be found between beliefs in the witch's familiar and contemporary fairy beliefs and argues that the extent of these similarities suggests that in the period there must have been considerable confusion between the two kinds of spirit, particularly on a popular level.
		"familiar," "devil," and "fairy" are general and simplistic in such a context, however a working terminology is needed.
		The term "familiar" was used in the period to both denote the witch's demonic spirit and, in a more general sense, personal helping spirits, often defined as fairies.

		In fact the lessons it teaches are better for the individual because they bring him or her closer to higher consciousness which is the goal of all beings from the lowest thoughtforms (too weak even to stimulate life in a single-celled organism) to the highest gods in the universe.
		I will also take the middle road here and say that it is at those times that the High Animal Spirit will usually back off and allow the lower animal familiar to relieve some of the pressures put on their human counterparts until they are better able to handle them.
