Hi guys, I need some help please. My sim is not doing to good in duels so I got her a nice magical kitty cat to help out. I have bound it to her and she went to the magic realm.
Once there, she summoned the kitty cat to come and join her and then she challenged the nearest sim to a duel. The kitty sat infront of her like in the pic and did not do anything, just sat there with glowing eyes. She lost, pretty bad too LOL. Did I need to do any other steps or is that just what happens.

1. boost XP gain
2. save your sim from death
3. occasionally talk via notifications.
4. Pet familiars can also be sent to forage (for potion ingredients I think).
5. Oh and pet familiars glitter

with that foraging option, they can come back with potion ingredients or anything from the magical artifacts collection (my apprentice witch's cat loves bringing brooms back)
Something wicked this way comes!

I'm really not sure if you need to be of a certain rank. My sim was a Neophyte and he managed to bind his pet racoon in a single try. There will be a notification telling you that your pet has become your familiar.
Huh. My Sim was also at neophyte when he bound his cat as familiar, worked first try as well. Can confirm it works at low ranks, honestly no idea if there's a way for it to fail or if it is a weird bug.
Those familiars are really helpful, though, even if they don't do much! My witch is nearly a virtuoso now, and she would have been dead by magic overload three times already if not for her familiar.

being able to have their unique familiar (seriously, some of my pets are crazy looking, like the apprentice witch's 'vampire cat') and the ability to send them foraging are both nice bonuses

I am also wondering this, I want to use a cat I had made, but my sims move around too often and I do not want to neglect one
Yes. In my experience, as long as you're at home, they keep doing what they're doing normally, and they still have needs, but you can summon them close to you anytime. They will also sparkle, however, and you can send them away to look for magical objects. (So far mine only came back with brooms, but surely there's other things they can collect too.)

Mine too, so I'm really hoping brooms aren't the only things. I thought they were supposed to bring back potion ingredients, which would make way more sense than brooms.
They absolutely do. I had to send my main and his cat home from the Realm because the cat was getting hungry. I may have to add some food bowls and stuff in.
side note, when i was playing coyote before i turned him into a sage, i had him bind... well, himself (an animal form of coyote) as familiar and it was hilarious making him encourage the dog form to misbehave. i'd love if he summoned the familiar version of himself to wander the realm while he's a sage. but, alas
I haven't tried with a pet familiar, but I was able to bind a regular one in my test game.
That's what I'm trying to do. I don't have Cats and Dogs. Were you able to do it in the magical realm? Was it bought from Caster's Alley? Did the parent have to gift it?
I tried with one already in the realm on a fireplace with a child I cheated to have strong bloodline.
Edit: I figured it out. In case this helps someone else, it is not enough to cheat the bloodline trait. Instead the cheat is traits.equip_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult_Manifested while the child is played and testing cheats are on. This give the child the spellcaster trait and he or she can then summon the familiar.
The only thing my sim's cat ever brings back is a broom, and it's the same one every time.

Honestly, I don't remember sending the cat, but he's been gone for two days now. Neither played sim in the household has not been able to use the "call over" feature successfully for the cat. I can't see where he is, the camera just takes me to the front of the lot when I click his icon. My spellcaster can't summon or unbind the cat. I've saved and restarted, but the cat still won't come home.
