Does the Familiar arcane exploit allow you to qualify for feats?

Sorry if this has been posted already, but I neither could find it or knew exactly how to word it in the search bar.

What I want to know is if an Arcanist (Or magus) gets a familiar via Exploit or Arcana, does it count as having the familiar class feature for purposes of qualifying for feats such as Evolved Familiar.
I noticed the Improved Familiar feat requires the "Ability to gain a familiar" though Evolved Familiar requires "familiar class feature"

Yes for Improved, no for Evolved. for the reasons you've stated.

Okay, that's what I was thinking just wanted to be sure

Well, if you follow that interpretation, no class can take evolved familiar, since there is no such thing as "Familiar Class Feature." When questions like this come up, I always point to the fact that Life Oracles can take feats related to Channel Energy. The precedent is that if you gain the mechanic granted by a class feature, you count as having that class feature for feat prerequisites, unless otherwise specified (Primalist Bloodrager for example.)
