Yep - the familiar is always a cat. :) A different cat every time, of course - it's random. But always a cat.

If it doesn't use MIU does it have a flat duation?

[LivderaDeralleur]

I will have to time the duration, though I believe it lasts the base duration of Call Familiar - about 15 minutes? It's long enough to find someone, relay a message, play around for a bit, etc. This is with a Ranger with 0 MIU training at all. I am unsure if any other skills may influence the duration.

[Allereli]

I will have to time the duration

you shouldn't have to time it. after you activate, it should show up in spell active.

[LivderaDeralleur]

Actually realized that not long after I posted. Heh.
Tested it and I get a duration of 10 minutes for my Ranger with 0 MIU. Unsure whether this would change with different skills.

I'm going to test this later, though it would appear there is no MIU required to activate, though MIU may increase duration. A 10 minute duration fits into the MIU duration formula for magic item activation (half the base duration of Call Familiar).

[LivderaDeralleur]

Note:
Updated main post.

I've tested more thoroughly - the /activation/ of the item is not dependent on MIU - anyone can activate this, regardless of MIU ranks.
Magic Item Use ranks, however, increase the duration of the Familiar.
Base duration is 10 minutes, plus 1 minute for every 2 ranks of MIU.
