Getting/creating a Familiar is far more complex than simply casting a spell to have them appear.

A Witch's familiar is an animal spirit or a magical construct created by the Witch or the Magician as an adjunct to their magical workings, as a repository for power, and if needed as a defense against magical attack from another magic user. A Witch or a magician can draw upon the energies of the familiar when they need an extra boost of energy in a magical working. Conceivably if the spell is important enough, the Witch could completely drain the familiar of energy causing it to "die" or cease to exist. And in the case of a magical attack, the attack could be diverted to the familiar so that it would be the familiar which is destroyed rather than the magic user. None of these are things that I think any of us would want to do with our pets.

There is an excellent article on familars here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familiar_spirit

But remember that creating such a thoughtform as a Familiar takes a great deal of knowledge and skill to accomplish. It is highly unlikely that a beginner would be successful with such a working.

I recommend studying up on subjects before posting questions about them because it is quite hard to put all the information needed to understand the whole concept of things.
