Do familiars age?

[Arbane the Terrible]

Does a normal animal turned familiar age, get old, and die like any normal member of their species?

(If so, witches are even more hosed than ever.)

Technically, yes, but there's no hard rules on it. James Jacobs suggests that the familiar live as long as its master is alive or until it reaches its normal dying age, whichever is longer.
