Imply wisdom
I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.

What Is A Familiar?
A "familiar" is more accurately called a "familiar spirit", the name deriving from the word "family". This was believed to be some form of spirit that either took the form of or inhabited the body of an animal.
Familiars were believed to assist witches in their activities, be those activities philanthropic or nefarious. Sometimes the familiar was believed to be the source of the witch's magical powers, possibly channeling this from some demonic entity.
Some modern Wiccans prefer to think of their familiars not as spirits but simply as animals with whom they are psychically attuned. This is more in keeping with the pagan tradition.

For the Record,
This day came in cold and sunny but the clouds and stormy weather are on the way. A fall nor'easter with some wet snow is forecast, yuck.
