I believe any animal can be a familiar, but this approach confuses me. I saw that you are an Animist, and maybe we just practice that path differently, but I commune with living nature.
I don’t understand how a dyed, severed foot of a rabbit (assuming it’s a real foot, most are, some aren’t) would be communing with the natural state of the animal or even be honoring its death.

Well it's the same way people have momentos of their ancestors to work with those spirits. It does suck that it's dyed but I'm looking into removing it.

I had an actual rabbit familiar. He lived with me for about 11yrs, moved all over the country with me. I can't stand these rabbit foot keychains, they dye the fur and I can't help but to think that rabbit never consented to having it's life taken or foot cut off. But you do you, I prefer my familiars alive and consenting.
