how the spell awaken acctually works if i want to cast it on my animal companion? how doe his level as cohort progress? it will start with 1 lvl class when i cast the spell or 2hd animal and start to take class levels as the party takes xp?

The animal companion becomes a magical beast and retains its stats it gained as your animal companion, but is no longer your animal companion. It's just a friend or an rival, depending on how you treated it up to that point. If you take Leadership, your GM might let you take the awakened animal companion as a cohort. In any event, you would be able to gain a replacement animal companion of the appropriate level.

The awakened animal companion cohort gains the +2 HD as normal per the spell. Whether or not it can later gain class levels, and when it gains its 1st class level, is up to your GM.

So my A/C retains everytthing (feats,skills etc) except the link ,share spells etc? Does these new HD count only at HP or at BAB,saves etc?And i need the leadership feat to take him as cohort?i thought the spell "provide" that feat and i only had to calculate the leadership score!does it keep evasion when awaken?
