The PHB says that the extra hit dice animal companions get also increase their feats, BAB, etcetera.

Is this also the case with familiars?

Lol..

The familiar has half the masters hitpoints.

The familiar has the masters base attack bonus.

The familiar has the masters saves, (unless it's base saves are better).

The familiar has as many ranks in skills as its master has (+ it's racial skills).

And no, they don't gain feats. (They retain their racial feats though, if any).
