That's true, but I'm pretty sure the concept of animal familiars has been a part of folklore since long before the birth of neopaganism. I see it as both of us borrowing terms from the same sources, though if a Wiccan wants to correct me then I'm happy to hear them out!
I always call my cat my familiar and it's never offended anyone as far as I could tell?
It's a Wiccan thing, no? Someone else replied daemon so that may be less problematic.
