Other way to change your familiar:

Spell:

Animate Dead Familiar: (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/sb/sb20011209a) Makes your dead familiar undead.
Elemental Familiar: (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/sb/sb20011109a) instant duration; Turns your familiar into a tiny elemental
Planar Familiar: (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/sb/sb20011020a) Turns your familiar into a Celestial/Fiendish/Axiomatic/Anarchic creature. (Weirdly its a cleric spell but it can only be cast one your own familiar, so you need to either UMD a scroll or use Limited wish.

Note: All three spell are 3.0 spell.

Feats:

Construct Familiar (#280 p62): Turns your familiar into a construct
Undead Familiar (#280 p62): Turns your familiar into an undead.
Token Familiar (#280 p62): Turns your familiar into a little item and back at will
Shadowform Familiar (CoR p22): Turns your familiar incorporeal, Krinth only
Stitched Flesh Familiar (LM p30): Turns your familiar into an undead
Shadow Familiar (ToM p138): Grant you a familiar with the the dark template or give it to your already existing familiar, Need Shadowcaster 3rd level


Prestige Class:

Bonded Summoner (MH p16): Replace familiar with an Elemental, starting at medium size and ending as an Elder Elemental.
Fleshwarper (LoM p189): Change your familiar type to Aberration, and give him up to four ability.
Fiend-Blooded (HH p102): Grants fiendish templates to your familiar.
Nar Demonbinder (UE p25): Grants an Imp or a Quasit familiar as with the improved familiar feat.

Going to add Improved Familiar (DMG and CW), Dragon Familiar, or class-specific choices like a Dread Necromancer gets?

That's what I'm currently doing.

Sorry to raise the Dead, but is it possible for a mod to fix the tables? They seem to each only be one { > [ from being complete. Maybe some kind of auto-shift at the beginning of paragraphs that the OP didn't notice?

Missing are the familiars for large casters in the dmg. I know cow is on that list.

Also, I remember seeing some sort of cat by a table picture in one of the monster manuals. I think it started with a G. Its flavor text said it often served as a familiar, I think. But it didnt have rules for doing so.

Also one more thing. Why was the skiurid never a familiar!? They soo cuuuuute! :smallredface:

Not according to my copy of the DMG. On page 203 it lists dire rats, leopards, monitor lizards, Medium owls, Small ravens, Medium vipers, and wolverines as options for Huge and bigger masters. Says nothing about the bison, cow, or any bovines at all there or in the entry for the Improved Familiar feat.

Grimalkin, MM II. The name is basically another word for cats, and grimalkins were cats who served witches as familiars.
If it doesn't have the rules, you'd need to homebrew it which would require DM fiat and thus has no place in a listing of official materials.
