Usually a pet animal which accompanies a Witch or Coven. These pets are kept for the psychic support and early warning of negative energies. Though cats are favorites, dogs, owls or any other animal you can "connect" with may become a familiar. Elementals can even become familiars.

You may live with a cat or dog for years before taking them as a familiar.

A spirit guide is generally an animal (domestic or wild) that is not in the household with the witch, and thus has to "communicate" with the witch through dreams or distance. One of my cats is my familiar, while my spirit guides include animals such as crows and badgers.
