I broke my cat.
JacquiES:
I have had no problems having a spectral cat coming to a community lot with a witch. I just did it tonight in fact and it was fine so maybe it is a conflicting hack?
Gastfyr:
Weird, I didn't know the spectral cats could ever come to com lots. The only witch I ever summoned a spectral cat, her cat just unsummoned everytime I had her 'fly to lot'. There was never an option, "who's comming along" I guess since she was living alone. And the cat always unsummons when I save and exit the lot too. But I have never had any problems re-summoning, so long as I have all the required reagents.

Well, I'm not the best person to help you, but I'll try since no other geniuses have come along. I would suggest playing another lot/family that has a witch and see if they have the ability to summon. See if the problem happens with that sim too. If it's only happening with your currently played fam, I would probably move them out and into another house. I know it's a pain in the ass, especially if you built that home specifically for them and took ages doing it. (One of the reasons I make a copy of each house I build in the unoccupied house bin). Again, that's just what I would do.
Well, as I said, it happened before on a completely different install of the game. Whatever the problem is, it's a reoccuring issue.

I guess I should also ask if they are missing any other magical abilities... are they still flying to lots, can they still cast all the spells they have learned, etc.
Nah, everything else works fine.

Yeah, but summon your cat at home, save and quit while the cat is still out and then reload the game and see if the cat is still there. As far as conflicting hacks...the only conflicts I have are the poolhack and vacationfixes from using the nudist hack. Those have nothing to do with anything involving cats, afaik.

The spell animation fires, but the cat doesn't appear.

OK, I know what is happening, but I don't know why or what causes it. But the character files for the cats are not being saved, so when I try to resummon, they're linking to a nonexistent character.
I'm at a complete loss here...I have no idea what could be causing this and I don't know enough about SimPE to find out how the familiars are linked to the owners.
[edit] Here's some more error logs generated when I made Brandi Broke a witch and summoned a familiar, then immediately saved and exited to neighborhood and tried to reload the lot.

Sounds like tightpants. Have you tried pulling all hacks out to see if this has any affect? Although Zazazu is also having cat related troubles, but I haven't read the post. I doubt it's the exact same problem.
