Petting the familiar
You pet Zen with your right hand. You sense an array of protective energies flowing from Zen's body into your spirit.
The message has not yet been updated to reflect the rework of the bond after the removal of resistance skills. The petting buff now provides a temporary bonus to the skills Anatomy, Combat Reflexes, Dagger, Killer Instinct, Precision Strike, and Stealth. It also restores one spell point.

Other Bonuses
Like most feline familiars, the cat grants a luck bonus that increases with bond strength.
Bonding to the cat appears to provide a large bonus to speed, in addition to whatever effects from the quickness skill.
Night vision, and obviously light sensitivity, increase slowly as bond strength increases. The first point of night vision is granted at very healthy.
Grants Situational Awareness late in the bond.
